Wow! I was amazed that I had read books off of each list already! I finally chose Octavia Butler's Kindred as she has been recommended to me as a talented author. (On the Literature and Language Arts list)

I just wanted to be sure that The Oxford Project by Peter Feldstein meets SRC requirements. It's described as a coffee table book and includes photos, but it also includes text about each of the people included in the book. It's on the Arts and Humanities list.

Thanks!

From what I can see the book is primarily images. If there are at least 100 pages of text it could work. If you have more info, please let me know.

I'll take a look at it at my library and let you know. I hope it ends up having enough text as it sounds interesting, especially since I'm from Iowa. There are plenty of other great books to choose from though, if it doesn't work out. Thanks for your response.

In the Arts and Humanties category is listed Bryson, Bill. Shakespeare: The Illustrated and Updated Edition, which I read. However, this book is not listed on Goodreads. It is only listed as it's original version without the illustrations Shakespeare: The World as Stage.
Can I use/link that version for points?
