On Monday I revealed my Titanic obsession, today I want to take that obsession to a whole new level. I'm officially introducing the Titanic 2012 Reading Challenge! This April commemorates the centennial of the Titanic tragedy and, in my eyes, it's only fitting to remember in the way that I know best — read! There are so many fantastic books relating to the Titanic that are coming out right now to aide in this commemoration that no one should be lacking good books to read — however, if you'd like to add movies to this list and make it sort of a "Anything Goes" sort of deal... the more power to you!
Yes, folks you heard me right! Anything goes — books or movies! The challenge doesn't officially start until April 1st and it will end on April 30th but in an effort to adhere to release dates etc, anything you read beginning today counts toward the challenge unofficially !
So, like other reading challenges, there are levels of participation! I apologize if this seems crass; it is meant (obviously) in irony.
3rd Class — Read or watch 2 books/movies involving the Titanic
2nd Class — Read or watch 4 books/movies involving the Titanic
1st Class — Read or watch 6 books/movies involving the Titanic
If you know of a great read/movie that you'd recommend, please comment below. As we near the official departure of this challenge I'll post a list of recommendations (movies and books).
What do you think? Sound like an awesome time? Anyone else addicted to all things "Unsinkable?"
