Chunkster Reading Challenge 2014

Since I'm taking a Contemporary Novels class this semester and several of the books are MONSTERS, I thought I'd take a stab at the Chunkster Challenge. Because, come on, just saying Chunkster makes me smile! :)



The full rules are here, but here are the basics in case you want to join me!

-A chunkster is an adult or YA book, non-fiction or fiction, that’s 450 pages or more.  
-Audiobooks and eBooks are allowed!
-Essay, short story, and poetry collections are allowed but they have to be read in their entirety to count. 
-No graphic novels.
-Books may crossover with other challenges.
-You don't need to declare your books ahead of time.
-Anyone can join!


My goal is to read 5 chunksters this year! 

Here is what books I think I'll read for the challenge (subject to change based on my motivation and other chunksters I may run across):
1. THE CORRECTIONS - Jonathan Franzen
2. LONG WALK TO FREEDOM - Nelson Mandela
3. GRACELING - Kristen Cashore
4. EAST OF EDEN - John Steinbeck
5. THE STORIES OF RICHARD BAUSCH - Richard Bausch


So who's with me? Anyone...anyone...big books need love too! :)
