This challenge is adapted from other bookcrossers (you can see longer list from Rakuna bookshelf). Name changed from 'World challenge' to this one to make the target clearer as others use that older name in other purposes. On 1.10.2007 I tightened the 'read time' rules. (Next step in future would be to replace all library books with BC books - that'll wait still.)
Yritän lukea jokaista tunnustettua, itsenäistä valtiota (poikkeuksena esim. Tiibet ja Guam, sekä muita, joiden nimet suluissa) kohti ainakin yhden maata käsittelevän, sinne sijoittuvan tai maan asukkaan kirjoittaman kirjan. Olen kirjannut tähän lukemiani kirjoja useamman vuoden ajalta, mutta haastetavoitteena on, että kirja on luettu yo. aloituspäivän jälkeen.
I'll try to read at least one book for every accepted, independent state (exceptions eg Tibet and Guam plus others, which are in parentheses), so that the book is about the country, located there or written by an author from the country. I've typed here the books I've read during several years, but target in my challenge is that books are read after start date above.
