Tournament of reading challenge
I'm also joining Medieval Bookworm's " Tournament of Reading" challenge . I'm very excited about this one, as medieval lit has always been a favorite of mine. Here are the rules: This challenge is designed to get us all reading a little more medieval literature in 2010. The challenge will run from January 1st to December 31st, 2010, and will be hosted right here at Medieval Bookworm. Challenge genres include history, medieval literature, and historical fiction. Medieval, for simplicity of definition, will be from 500-1500, and literature from all over the world is welcome, not just western Europe. There are 3 levels: Peasant – Read 3 medieval books of any kind. Lord – Read 6 medieval books, at least one of each kind. King – Read 9 medieval books, at least two of each kind. I'm very tempted to go right ahead and aim at the "King" level. Here are a few preliminary picks: History The history of the medieval world , by Susan Wise Bauer Literature
