About me
Greetings! I am LeviSamJuno and I like to read.

Of course if you followed me around on a daily basis you would see that I really don't read all that much. So, I guess I could more adequately say that I would like to like to read.

Blame it on a busy schedule, new home, new wife, new baby, laziness, I just simply don't seem to read nearly as much as I did in elementary and secondary school (back when I certainly had more time to do so). I partially blame college and having to read so many things that I had to read for class (particularly those classes that I simply had to take to graduate).

Still, I have recently come across a pretty exciting trend within the blogging world (some would say "blogosphere;" I would not) of bloggers hosting reading challenges, which took me right back to those childhood days of receiving a bookmark or something everytime I read a certain number of books. Surely this phenomenon is the answer to my lackadaisacal reading habit! But as I searched I came across so many, and having not read very avidly for so long, I had no idea how long it actually would take me to read a single book, let alone try to complete a reading challenge of several books to be read in a single year.

So in an effort to determine in which reading challenge to participate I have converted my reading efforts into a research project: hence, the Reading Challenges Wiki. This is now a concerted effort to compile as many reading challenges as I can find, whether closed or current, so that I can decide which to attempt.

I have also decided to post it publicly because a) the wiki format really helps with categorizing, organizing, and linking all of these together and b) I am sure that others will be able to join in and expound this wiki to something everyone will be able to access, hopefully creating a trend of increased reading in the world.
