Not that I do that too often, but I'm currently reading A Dance With Dragons, the 5th book of A Song Of Ice And Fire, and I'm planning to read the entire series as well some time this year, which means I'm gonna read the Dance twice. How about it? It's like 1200 pages, so it's not a short one... :shifty:


If it's the same book, then by all means count it twice in your tally. Naturally I can't check whether anyone is really reading what they say they are, but since it's not a competition we're only really challenging ourselves. I was tempted to read Wuthering Heights twice last year, but I held out against it. If I had done so, I would've counted it though.

:thumbup:


Great, thanks. Since my medical textbooks don't count (and I don't really read those cover to cover), this will at least give me a fighting chance. ;)

And - and - what if you mostly listen to books rather than read, eh? :ask: If they count, then I'm in, probably for around 40 too........


Last year, in the 50 book challenge, audio-books did count. Some people marked them in their lists, some didn't.
