Above is a link to a diagram of a basketball hoop labeled with 15 shooting positions, 1-15. The higher the number, the farther away from the hoop the position is, making it more challenging to shoot from that spot. Members have 96 hours (4 days) to read as many books as possible. Once an athlete has finished a book, please post the title and number of pages of that particular book below.

As you can see in our list, varying page numbers equate to different positions in the shooting diagram (pictured above). The greater the number of pages you read, the closer to the hoop you are. Based upon your position and its distance from the net, I will post a trivia question regarding the book that you just read. These questions will range in difficulty - the farther you are from the net, the harder the question. If you answer the question correctly, your country scores a point. If you answer the question incorrectly, your country scores 0 points.

Position 15 - Up to 99 pages
Position 14 - 100-149 pages
Position 13 - 150-199 pages
Position 12 - 200-249 pages
Position 11 - 250-299 pages
Position 10 - 300-349 pages
Position 9 - 350-399 pages
Position 8 - 400-449 pages
Position 7 - 450-499 pages
Position 6 - 500-549 pages
Position 5 - 550-599 pages
Position 4 - 600-649 pages
Position 3 - 650-699 pages
Position 2 - 700-749 pages
Position 1 - 750+ pages

It looks like you have your work cut out for you, so start reading!

I have two question, one is it one book per team, or can another team member add a book that they have read to help their team get more points? And second do you want us to use the add book/author link when we post?
