25.2 - Sandy's Task: Math Class – It’s as Easy as 1, 2, 3!

When I was in school, my dreaded subject was math – but now I know that multiplication is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. 600 X 1 = FINISHED
Read 1 book with 600 or more pages.

OR

2. 300 X 2 = FINISHED
Read 2 books, each with 300 or more pages.

OR

3. 200 X 3 = FINISHED
Read 3 books, each with 200 or more pages.

No ebooks without print equivalents may be used for this task. You can use the ebook format for books, but they must have a print version for page computation.

Abridged audiobooks cannot be used for this task as they have no print equivalents.

REQUIRED – you must include the number of pages in your books in your post.

Hello Sandy
If I pick Option 1, does that mean I can start on the book before the challenge begins, if I complete less than half the book before the challenge begins?

yes it does - the "pre-reading" rule allows you to start a book that's 500 pages or more, as long as you read less than half before 9/1.

The perfect place to put Voyager! Thanks, Sandy.

I thought that since the 50 pointer last time required a really long book (and it seems as if the doorstopper books seem to often belong to a series), people might be looking to read more in the series, so a task allowing a really long book on its own might be nice!

Love this task! I'll be reading The Pillars of the Earth since I've already been picking away at it and was hoping to find a task for it.
