Olympic ChallengeHendertuckian's OLYMPIC CHALLENGE: The goal is to read one author's work from the 202 participating countries by Summer Olympic Games by 2008. The only requirement is the author must be a citizen or a permanent resident of that country (or was if deceased). Hendertuckian made a list of all countries and made some book suggestions. Click here to visit Hendertuckian's bookshelf! Thank you, KYH, for designing such a cool logo.
