I love reading, so much so that I originally made a typo when writing the title: “Read Another Reading Challenge”. I also like challenges. It’s one of the many reasons I took up Japanese in the first place.
But this one is waaay more intense than any of my other previous challenges, uh, challenge.
the goal
Read all the books I checked-out from the school library.
The goal has since changed. Read about why here.
the deadline
December 17th, the day these books are all due for return.
the books
- ルート225 by 藤野千夜 (282 pages)
- 北斎殺人事件 by 高橋克彦 (446 pages)
- 王国記, 王国記2, and 王国記3 by 花村萬月 (259, 268, 284 pages, respectively)
- フルハウス by 柳美里 (189 pages)
- 現代短編小説選 2005~2009 by various authors (260 pages)
- 東京タワー by 江國香織(297 pages)
- レベレ７by 宮部みゆき (664 pages!!!)
9 books. 2,949 pages… I think.
In less than 3 Months.
It’ll be the most book reading I’ve ever done in such a short period.
Why is this a challenge?
Because I do a lot of reading, but it is often on the net.
I use books as my reading while walking to class or riding a train. I almost never read books while sitting in my room. That’s time for variety shows, net surfing, dramas, and DIVINA{{1}}
Needless to say, I don’t really do any speed runs. Until now!
Also these will be the longest books I’ve ever read in Japanese.
But it’s okay because I can’t wait to start Level 7. It looks so intense.
Actually all the books are pretty intense.
In fact, these books are so intense that I got a paper cut from trying to take them off my shelf.
Intense.
