450 pages? I spit on your 450 pages...
But anyway, I have decided to sign up for the Chunkster Challenge and will be going for the top level, Mor-Book-ly Obese:
"Mor-book-ly Obese - This is for the truly out of control chunkster. For this level of challenge you must commit to 6 or more chunksters OR three tomes of 750 pages or more. You know you want to.....go on and give in to your cravings."
I may already have reached this target for this year, but I'll see how I've done soon; no book diet for me then...
