From a few comments I've seen on other challenges and blogs, I think there's at least some interest out there for doing challenge reading in books' original languages...and maybe more than one would suspect given the numbers of non-native English speakers posting in English on their blogs. Anyhow, I'd sign up for that mini-challenge if you offer it and would be happy to help if you can think of a good way for me to contribute (prizes or otherwise). Btw, thanks for all the comments tonight!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-14015328786259616322009-01-16T22:35:00.000-05:002009-01-16T22:35:00.000-05:00hey, yeah I was thinking it would be cool to do a ...hey, yeah I was thinking it would be cool to do a mini-challenge (ie read 3 out of the total 9 for OT in the language they were written in)it would give it new dimension. The only problem is that I don't know how many can read in another language. I thought it would be a neat option for the challenge though. <BR/><BR/>Any ideas on that??bethany (dreadlock girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02565178664993925800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-27975700730303739692009-01-16T00:18:00.000-05:002009-01-16T00:18:00.000-05:00Thank you, Bethany, it was my pleasure!

Semana.com has a list of the 100 best novels published in Spanish in the last 25 years, though, so that might be a nice resource to link to on the new challenge. In the meantime, ¡hasta pronto!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-90916277047336674712009-01-15T13:54:00.000-05:002009-01-15T13:54:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for joining this!!
