See How Many of These Reading Challenges You Can Complete ...

1 Read a Novella

Novellas are short, which means it shouldn't take you more than a few hours to finish one. That's barely a challenge at all!

2 Read a Book That's over 1,000 Pages

If you read a super long book, it'll give you a chance to get to know the characters. The more you like them, the more meaningful the scenes will feel.

If porn doesn't turn you on, a book might! Read an erotic one to find out.

4 Read a YA Novel

Adults read young adult novels as often as teenagers do. It doesn't matter how old you are, because you can enjoy the story inside.

5 Read a Book of a Movie You’ve Already Seen

The book is usually better, so it'll be worth it to read the novel, even if you already know the plot of the movie.

6 Read a Graphic Novel

Just because a book has pictures in it, it doesn't mean it's any less valuable. There are some pretty intense graphic novels out there that you'll love.
