[QUOTE]Deven Science - 2014-06-17 11:15 PM I hate to bring up a negative, when this whole thing is doing nothing but promoting reading, but I've noticed that a few of the people that are entered in the challenge are filling up there 12 book requirement with very modern books that are not on the Masterworks lists. I realize that it's ultimately a challenge for oneself, but it still... bothers me. Maybe I'm too much of a rule follower. I didn't even realize that you could select books that were not on the Masterworks list to be read for the Masterworks challenge.

You're right, though, 15 out of 439 is not bad at all.[/QUOTE]
