IT'S TIME FOR THE 2008 READ THE BOOK CHALLENGE

Sign Up Begins In This Thread
October 3 thru October 11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reading Challenge and Assignments

We will be using the 2002 Edition



The Challenge this year will concentrate on Induction and an overview of OWL. It will take 2 weeks to complete and you will be required to post assignments on a daily basis or as it is given.

Please refer to the Read The Book Challenge calendar for sign up dates and challenge start and end dates.




RULES:
Your first assignment is to read the rules of the challenge and understand you are committing to start and finish the challenge if you sign up. Please read the rules prior to signing up.
You must sign up in this thread and commit to reading the assigned chapters and/or sections of your book as scheduled, you must do the required assignments and you must post during the 2 weeks to report and/or post assignment[s] done. We will use the 2002 Edition of the book. *Others editions will not qualify for the challenge*
You may ask questions and you can make comments, as they pertain to the book, while we progress through the required reading. We will use this single thread throughout the Challenge.
