  I copied this challenge from other bookcrossers ( dotdot , Ahava , ...). Target is to read one book from each Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature. Starting with books read in 2007 and after (eventually I haven't read any books of these authors earlier, except from John Steinbeck many many years ago). No time limit.

  Bookcrossing-lukuhaaste itselleni (1.2.2007) - My personal reading challenge  This challenge is adapted from other bookcrossers (you can see longer list from Rakuna bookshelf). Name changed from 'World challenge' to this one to make the target clearer as others use that older name in other purposes. On 1.10.2007 I tightened the 'read time' rules. (Next step in future would be to replace all library books with BC books - that'll wait still.) Yritän lukea jokaista tunnustettua, itsenäistä valtiota (poikkeuksena esim. Tiibet ja Guam, sekä muita, joiden nimet suluissa) kohti ainakin yhden maata käsittelevän, sinne sijoittuvan tai maan asukkaan kirjoittaman kirjan. Olen kirjannut tähän lukemiani kirjoja useamman vuoden ajalta, mutta haastetavoitteena on, että kirja on luettu yo. aloituspäivän jälkeen.
