Amazon usually includes all pages - acknowledgements, foreword etc, so if you use that it's fine. That's why we said in the Rules to just use Amazon's page count for everything so that it will be standard.

Thank you so much for clearing up my confusion!

Thanks for the tag. Sounds interesting. My reading has reduced a lot past few months but maybe I can sign up for 1-2 books...

FAQ:

1. Can participants read fanfiction? If so, how will the pages be counted?

So since most of you that read FF and other online fiction said that the stories usually have a word count & the ballpark figure for published books is around 300 words per page, we will accept these provided you log in the number of pages as Word count divided by 300 and round it up to the nearest whole number.

You can post the name of the story and the author, but you will have to send the link to teh story via PM to your team captain.

However, note that the minimum length should be that of the smallest novella i.e minimum 60 pages or 18,000 words.

Count me in as long as it is fair to others. My job profile includes reading heavily and teaching literature.

Aaah...

though it might sound like bragging but I think this might categorise as cheating. I read like 4-5 essays with average length of 6k words each -usually it depending on papers I teach, a novel or a fanfic depending on my semester schedule within a day (Yesterday, i literally read a 55k words long ff last night took me 2 hrs to finish, and 2 long essays and a 200 pages long single spaced dissertation and 2 short ffs of 12k&15k words during the daytime), a critical text or two within a week on an average when I am lazing around. The critical texts increase when I have to teach them though. If I have done the math correctly, my reading comes to 500 pages daily or 2.5 book/per day acc or to 200pg oer book count. The slowest reading I have ever done is 2 novels per week and that was when I studying in high school.

I understand if this would be deemed unfair to others. I wont mind if you tell me so. I just thought the disclaimer is much needed.

Thank you for tagging.

Reading under pressure is good . Maybe I'll manage to read more again.
