Yesterday I posted results for the Foreign Language
Challenge; now it is time to announce the winner of the Reading Challenge.
First, two honorable mentions go to a pair of students who both read three or more books and over 1,000 pages: Seth Greene (3.5 books; 1,030 pages) and David Kralt (4.5 books; 1,220 pages).
I myself read a whopping 10.5 books and 1,701 pages. Could anyone beat that...?
Well, in fact -- yes! Or partly. No one managed to read more books than I did, so I have not been totally embarrassed. However, one impressive student managed to read 7 books weighing in at a massive 4,100 pages. Drum roll...
Congratulations to Adam Brown, who seized the challenge as motivation to read the entire Harry Potter series for the first time!
For those who are interested, I include below complete lists of the books read by all these students as well as yours truly.
