So I am thinking of doing another reading contest.

Basically, your last contest was gambling. We would say a number, we would wait and eventually one of us would be right. It wasn't really engaging. Think of a way for your participants to come back to your contest or at least have a bigger input.

If you're reading Sherlock Holmes stories you'll most likely finish all the short stories and the novels before you leave off.
That's stuff you just can't put down once you've started.

This is absolutely true. I am about to read all of A Study in Scarlet in three days. I haven't read a whole book in three days since....ever.
