I would rather read wide than deep right now. That's why I can't/won't join challenges that require more than 2 books. It's too much of a commitment when I have so many other books I want to read.

I won't let it! :) I hope to make A Fine Balance a priority at the beginning of next year. I'm definitely very curious about it since it's one of your favorite books!

I'm already behind in my reading and reviewing. I'd rather join less challenges and read more for each one (but at my own pace). The challenges you've listed here are all good ones which I've also thought about joining. :-) .-= [Suko´s last blog: <a href="http://suko95.blogspot.com/2009/11/interview-with-javy-w-galindo.html" rel="nofollow">Thinking Differently: An Interview with Javy W.

It's great temptation for me to join many challenges, but I'm really trying to be realistic as I don't read fast at all. I'd also like some room to read books I want to read next year that may not fit into any of the challenges. Having said that, I do plan to read one book from each list above! I’m glad The Eyre Affair got your vote!

I'm still thinking of the logisitics so that I can combine a few of them and will also be putting up my list of challenges I'm planning to join soon. But I'm definitely doing the South Asian Author Challenge as I have a huge TBR pile of books that will qualify. And I heartily recommend The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde.
