Since March is almost here I decided to keep the challenge on the simple side. I can add bonus challeneges etc. later. What do you guys think of this as a challenge?

1. Classic (published before 1960)
2. Contemporary (published in the last 25 years)
3. Award Winner (World Fantasy Award, Gemmel Award, Locus etc. any year)
4. Religion Theme
5. Political/Court Intrigue
6. Military
7. Young Adult/Throwback
8. Media Tie In (Book that was made into a TV Show or Movie)
9. Written by more than one author
10. Epic (more than 500 pages)
11. Quick Read (less than 200 pages)
12. Written by an Author with 3 names (EX Guy Kaverial Kay, Marion Zimmerman Bradley, David Alan Coe etc.)
13. Birthday book-published the year or decade you were born
14. Asian Themed
15. Mediterranean Inspired (Countries bordering the Mediterranean: Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Morocco etc.)

This looks good.  Short stories?  Course, that would be more than one author, so they're covered.  I'd probably do six or so, unless I got ambitious.

Thanks for doing this!

Absolutely!  Great choices.  Can we use the books we've already read or will this be all books starting from March 1st type of thing?

I think any books you read in 2016 thus far should work.
