Because yes, on top of being a college student I need to set other goals for myself for things like casual reading, something for which everyone knows college students NEVER EVER HAVE TIME.
I'm not doing the 100-book challenge again, because as I have alluded to before while it was great fun it did push me toward reading shorter books. But Mr. Gee gave me a different almost-challenge which I have decided to accept: to read no books this year under 500 pages long. Except there are a few exceptions to my acceptance.
1. School books, of course. Many of my classes this semester have disappointingly small textbooks.
2. I do intend to read through Scott Fitzgerald's major works this year. That seems like a fine goal in and of itself.
3. I reserve the right to read short works when I feel like it. One needs a short book after a certain number of large tomes.
4. Also, there are a few series that I want to read/finish, not all of which contain 500-page volumes. However, they all have a combined length of 500 pages, so I will read them together and count them as one.
The end.

In other words, you'll read what you want to this year, whether it is 500 words or not. :P
You weren't supposed to point that out, but yes. :P
I was gonna say...! Thatsalotta caveats. But of course, you're free to read whatever you like. Don't let Mr. Gee influence you in the least. Uh uh.
