It is a method of annotation which pulls all the meaning from the metaphor.

28. 1) Difficulty Level If there are 5-10 words on the first page that you don’t understand then this is the challenge for you. 2) Style Challenge yourself with a book that is in an entirely different format than you are used to. (Framed Narratives, Switching first person) 3) Subject Matter Challenge yourself with reading a book that stretches your mind in different directions. Ex. WWII books. Common to all- Sincere Interest Aka. No random choices

29.  For those who enjoy reading and already have an idea of what you might want to read make sure you meet one of the challenges with the book you also happen to be interested in.  For people who find it harder to choose the first place I would go is Goodreads.

31.  There are a few books that I don’t want to see simply because they are in the collective unconscious and most likely you know too much about these books to begin with.  Avoid books which have inspired a movie or TV Show that you have seen.
