The Challenge Factory discussion

In 2025, we will go on a tour of the most famous libraries in the world. They might be ancient or modern, but they were and are spectacular!

You only need to read one book for one task to receive a library card to the library of the month. You are welcome to read for as many tasks as you'd like though.

Rules:
Books must be at least 140 pages.
Audio books must be at least 3 hours long.
Duration - Dec. 1 - 31, 2025

The Reading Room at the British Museum is located in the center of the Museum's Great Court. The building's domed exterior protects a unique interior ceiling made of a special kind of papier-mache!

For much of the Room's history, access was limited to registered researchers, attracting notable visitors including Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde, Mahatma Gandhi, Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell, Mark Twain, Lenin, and H.G. Wells during this time.

The majority of the collection was moved to the new British Library in 2000; the Reading Room now houses an information center and a curated collection of specialty art and history titles relevant to the collections of the British Museum.

The Reading Room has also been known to host long-running temporary exhibitions of its own, such as the 2006 exhibit centered on China's famous Terracotta Army.

Tasks:
1. Read any book you'd like
2. Re-read a book that you think is great
3. Read a book written by Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde, Mahatma Gandhi, Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell, Mark Twain, Lenin, or H.G. Wells. (Accomplishing this will grant you a library card for your lifetime. No need for a renewal.)
