The Sequel
The Summer Reading Challenge is back on.
Two years ago, Eli 23.10 proposed a reading challenge for three months over the summer (or four--I can't remember).
He calculated poorly. Reading is one of the things I can still do at peak level.
It was a knockout, and I thought that was it. Now, though, he's proposed another round, ending on October 1. He proposed a public spreadsheet to keep track of page count, but I nixed that idea. No totals until the end of the contest.
Devious. He liked it immediately.
I've added another wrinkle, too. Every so often, I'm going to send him a message with only one word: DING.
It won't happen on a consistent basis, and I won't explain what it means.
Eventually, he'll figure out it must be in reference to a certain number of pages I've read since the last DING. What will drive him crazy, though, is figuring out how many.
That should keep him busy all summer.
