So, the story is that arch-nemesis Stormfield as well as other minor nemeses have signed up for this reading challenge. A certain J. Kaye Oldner seems to host an annual challenge for individuals to make sure they read at least 100 books during the year. Well, I can't rightly allow my nemeses to participate in, not to mention potentially complete, more challenges than I!
As Stormfield noted, pulling a full time college load might make trying to keep up with this reading and recording crazy, but crazy is what room #416 is all about, so try it I will. My list of books read will appear below.
