New Authors Challenge

The New Author Challenge is to read books by new authors (kinda obvious, isn't it?). 

It's for the whole of 2009, and you can set your own goal for how many new authors you want to read. More info and sign-ups here.

I'm going to try for 25 new authors this year. Let's see how much I get!
