Hrm, I might be interested, but I'll be gone for a few weeks and may not have enough books of interest. I could read that TV repair manual from the 70's...

Gone for a few weeks? Not a problem.

We'll have short-term prizes and multiple ways to earn iTally marks that aren't dependent on constant ToO access.

Boy, you guys are exhausting our FAQs before they're revealed.

Reading, Reading, Reading! HUZZAH, sign me up. (I will stomp you all into the dirt with this contest.) Is this all just going to be on an honor system, cause I could just lie (I'm not going to, books are to sacrade(sp) to me) about how many pages I read.

Nope, we will require parent signatures!

Yes, it will be on the honor system.

After all, it's not like there's an expensive prize or anything.

We're in this to have fun.

How exciting! I was hoping this would be one of the first contests... I could use the incentive to start reading more.

Sign me up.

My old 1970s paperback version of LOTR has about the same number of words per page as my 1st edition copies of Passages.

Plus, LOTR is just so much more captivating... That more than makes up for it! $\:D/$

I rarely participate in stuff because I don't want it to look unfair if I win, but I love to read, and I definitely want to be part of the summer reading contest! $\:D/$ I was quite distraught when I got too old for the one at my public library.

I read less now than I used to, but I'm looking forward to the book-related discussions, as well as having an extra motivation to read more and be on the internet less.

I've been meaning to read LOTR ever since the first movie came out. Still hasn't happened yet.

Well, try to get the 1970's version so you'll earn more pages, and maybe have a better chance of winning the contest!

I will sign up and attempt to read also, although excluding Dr. Seuss puts me at an extreme disadvantage.
