Vier Jahre lang gab es die SuB-Abbau-Challenge. Ursprünglich Annette Eickert ins Leben gerufen, wurde die Challenge 2016 von Bettina Lippenberger
betreut. Zugelassen waren neben allen normalen Print- und
Digitalausgaben offiziell auch Hörbücher, was das
Erfüllen (für mich als Audiobook-Fan) einfacher macht. Die Anzahl der
Kategorien war in 2016 noch einmal auf 100 angestiegen (2014 waren es 45, 2015
schon 70), von
denen aber weiterhin nur 20 erfüllt werden sollten. Da ich 39 Titel eintragen konnte, ist diese Challenge damit auch erfolgreich bewältigt, obwohl ich die Buchchallenge 20/16 vorrangig behandelt habe und Bücher nicht doppelt eingetragen haben.

Lese-Challenge SuB-Abbau 2016 - Ergebnisse
Vier Jahre lang gab es die SuB-Abbau-Challenge. Ursprünglich Annette Eickert ins Leben gerufen, wurde die Challenge 2016 von Bettina Lippenberger
betreut. Zugelassen waren neben allen normalen Print- und

100 Best Novels
While researching good book challenges for 2017 I stumbled upon the Radcliffe's Rival 100 Best Novels list. The list isn't new, in fact it's from 1998, the Radcliffe Publishing Course compiled and released its own list of the 20th century’s top 100 novels, at the request of the Modern Library editorial board. They had started a discussion on the topic when they had released their own list which was discussed and rivalled by a readers' list soon after. Actually, I like the Radcliffe's Rival 100 Best Novels list, I have already read a few, some are on my to-read-list and others are probably a good challenge or a good way to broaden my literary horizon. I will ignore the fact that there are mostly North American and British authors on the list, also that there are insufficient female authors.
I marked read and reviewed books green and added the month and year. There are more I have read but I want to re-read most of those because I don't remember much.
So here's to another on-going-challenge for the years to come, of course, I hope to read a few!
