It's kinda hidden in the comments but October 1st :)
I have a quick question about the author category. Do we go by place of birth or currently living?
I'll try and make the start and end dates more clear. :)Bookbuyer, you can decide for yourself on that one. There really isn't a perfect way to handle that since people move around or are born in countries they aren't actually "from."

KK. Thanks. :)
You can try looking on listopia; that usually helps a lot.:)
There are a lot of lists here on goodreads through listopia that might be helpful. So that would be a good place to start. :)
I read anything on which i can put my hands on and already have stacks ..Goodreads-Listopia is labyrinth I check on suggestions only or i might not come out of it.the real task is getting books....my resources are below stacks.
I have a quick question. ARE there any authors who were either born, went to, or live in Antarctica?
If you can find it, it might be in an autobiography.
That one is excluded from that category.
Great! There are review and planning/chatting threads in this folder, so feel free to jump in. And let us know if you have any questions.
I would like to sign up as it looks interesting. I have one quick question if I have read a book already and started it about October 1st can I use it in this challenge. :)
Great! Yes, as long as it was started then you can use it. :)
