Comments for I Want to 42 Again
I Want to 42 Again: 01/01/10
I participated last year in the 42 Challenge and I'm excited to do it again. It helped me focus my efforts to read more science fiction. I barely touched the list I prepared last year. Rather than recapitulating it, I will just go with the flow.
The rules are:
Officially starts January 1, 2010
Officially ends December 3, 2010
Your mission — if you choose to accept it — is to read, watch, listen, and (possibly) review 42 sci-fi related items.
What counts? Short stories, novellas, novels, radio show episodes, television show episodes, movies, graphic novels, comic books, audio books, essays about science fiction, biographies about sci-fi authors, etc. Adapted or abridged works are okay as well.
Keep an ongoing list of your 42 either here on this site (just leave your email address in the comments) or on your own site (just leave a link to your list in the comments). Your list doesn't have to include links to your reviews. But it can if you like. Reviews are not required.
If you want to join the challenge, leave a comment on this post.
If you want to be able to contribute to this site, then leave your email address.
If you don't want to contribute, then that's not necessary.
If this will be your second year, and you'd like to continue on, then leave a comment to 'renew' your participation.
MY goal is to add ALL participants to the site's blog roll.
If you would like to be added to the blog roll AND your blog/site isn't linked in your profile, please leave a link to your site.
