A fatty, a thinny, a golden oldy, a "meant to read" - any kind of book you like can be your challenge for 2012. Start your engines then! Some hangovers from 2011, which is quite acceptable, some of us have way too many books to handle - but please do re-list, I notice that some of you are carrying forward last year's challenge to 2012. Its entirely up to you to add yourself to the thread. I'll do all the rest, but you have to do something else except read!
