Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: UK		This is the discussion thread for the Ultimate Challenge 2017:

https://www.worldswithoutend.com/rollyourown.asp?ryo_id=206

The challenge is to complete series, lists, other challenges, awards, etc. The last book is the one that counts for this challenge.


"Ultimate" as in "Last", see.

Maybe I should have called it something else.

I rather consider myself lucky if I complete 1 of these milestones a year let alone 4 - 10 but there again I am a slow reader compared to some.

Location: UK		It's not that I read through that many complete series, but rather that I have a lot of dangling unfinished series waiting to be completed.

Location: UK		OK, I've decided to rename the challenge to Unfinished Business 2017. I think it's probably better to have a vaguely descriptive name.

Since I can't rename this thread, I've created another one and changed the link in the challenge.
