ABOUT The Challenge

The Chunkster Challenge is a reading challenge for those readers who love to read the fat books - the doorstoppers that weigh you down, the books that take a commitment of time...and we require physical books for this challenge with only two exceptions.

To make things uniform, we have come up with the definition of a chunkster:

• A chunkster is 450 pages or more of ADULT literature (fiction or nonfiction) ... A chunkster should be a challenge.
• If you read large type books your book will need to be 525 pages or more ... The average large type book is 10-15% longer or more so I think that was a fair estimate.

The challenge is designed to give participants some flexibility by allowing them to choose between different levels of reading. Visit the sign up page by clicking on the graphic in the right sidebar of this blog to read more and join the challenge.

The challenge runs from January 1 through December 31 each year.

Beginning in 2012, we will be featuring selected titles which meet the criteria of a chunkster. We will also be offering some giveaways for participants in the Chunkster Challenge. FTC Disclosure: Book giveaways and featured book articles are NOT paid promos. Although books for giveaway will be supplied by the publisher (in most cases), The Chunkster Challenge administrators do not accept payment to host these special events.

Your challenge hosts are Wendy at Caribousmom and Vasilly at 1330V
