Sign-ups are open.
The challenge is open-ended.
Artificial Intelligence is something really cool in my opinion. So why not use it for a reading challenge?
The Challenge
1. Comment here to sign up and I will create a challenge thread for you.
2. For this challenge, you will read 11 books. First, you read a book of your choice. I will then ask an AI for a book recommendation based on the book you read and create a set of three tasks based on that book, of which you must complete one. This will then go on for 10 books. You will receive 2 points for every task you complete and another 10 points for completing the challenge.
3. If you feel stuck you can turn in 5 points to skip the tasks and read a book that meets the general guidelines.
4. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:
