Miscellaneous Rules and Notes
Books can be counted twice for challenge purposes (this is really to make the alphabet possible for everyone). You'll only get the single point for the read, but they can count the two bonus points for reading a book from a challenge group if you haven't nabbed that point yet.

library fishing
Check out your library and count the number of rows in the section you are fishing, pick a random number and go to that row. Count the stacks and repeat the random process. Count the shelves on that stack and repeat the random process. Count the books on the shelf and repeat the random process. Pick a book within a few of the fished target. You know how fish are and I don't want anyone getting a 1,200 page microfiche history of a place they don't care about.

Feel free to redistribute points, I guessed on a few.

Oh thanks Dazrin. I had a hard time figuring out how to do the points.

It's like GR decided to hide this thread from me

Still completing things to this list. I am currently reading the final two on the alphabet list.

You can do it.
