Goal: Going from A - Z, and using authors’ first or last names, read the alphabet. For "X" and "Z" you may use authors with those hard to find letters in their names. Unless, of course, you're a ‘purist.’
Yes, you may use an author twice, once with their first name, and again with their last.
Duration: You set the pace.
You may read in any order, start at any time of the year. You may 'back date' to the 1st of January, if you desire. You may treat it as a yearly from start date (going from August to July), or try and finished before the start of a new year. Totally up to you.
Please note: There is another challenge that is yearly (not "open-ended") that is posted here.
