The Misanthropologist 
I’m totally up for the challenge!!
It’s fun..though I’m not doing a very good job of it right now…I blame George R.R. Martin and his Song of Ice and Fire Series 😦 lol
I’m right there with you w/thousands of pages to go in Song of Fire and Ice. Incidentally, can one book satisfy 2 categories? For example if I read For Whom The Bell Tolls that could be War book and 20thC? Only asking due to the fact that I am still reading Clash of Kings. 😉
Hmm I think the rules said one book per category….though I’m not 100% sure of that. But I know what you mean, a lot of books can be used for both categories, but maybe that defeats the purpose of getting us to read a variety of books 😛 I’m still working my way through A Storm of Swords and I’m not even a quarter into the book lol.
