The 2015 Reading Challenge!

Hey hey, out there!

Personally, I am an avid reader. This of course is a prerequisite if you yourself enjoy writing and yet the book as a medium always comes off badly in my case. Above all, I read on vacation, depending on the stay I manage three to six books in one go. The rest of the year turns out rather poor. Whether it is because I can not find the time, I have no desire to, I'm mean again or just forget to.
I don't care for New Year's resolutions, but shortly before 2015 I stumbled upon a list which made me halt. The "2015 Reading Challenge". This Challenge is a list that holds 53 book tasks which you should discharge over the coming year. I think that's a great idea. However, I have it shortened, 53 books are just not manageable for me (in particular, because one task is to read a book with over 500 pages).
Therefore, my list contains 21 books plus some more if I'll actually manage to finish.

My tasks are following (planned books in brackets):

Read   1. a book with more than 500 pages (The Circle, Dave Eggers)
           2. a book that became a movie (The Maze Runner, James Dashner)
           3. a book published this year (???)
           4. a book written by someone under 30 (Verficktes Herz, Nora Gantenbrink)
           5. a book with non-human characters (???)
           6. a mystery or a thriller (Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow, Peter Hoeg)
           7. a book from an author you love that you haven't read yet (Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien)
           8. a book that won a Pulitzer Prize (The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemingway)
           9. a book your mom loves (Die Wanderhure, Iny Lorentz)
           10. a book based entirely on its cover (???)
           11. a book you can finish in a day (???)
           12. a book set somewhere you've always wanted to visit (1Q84, Haruki Murakami)
           13. a book that came out the year you were born (???)
           14. a book from your childhood (Heidi, Johanna Spyri)
           15. a book with a love triangle (???)
           16. a book with a color in the title (The Color Purple, Alice Walker)
           17. a book set during christmas (???)
           18. a book written by an author with your same initials (???)
           19. a book based or turned into a TV show (???)
           20. a book of short stories (???)
           21. a book at the bottom of your to-read list (Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas   Adams)

A prerequisite is that I have not read any of these books before (except for No. 14) and that in each category another book is read. For most tasks, I have no idea. You may, however, recommend some books in the comments!
Because I'll read this year a lot, I will introduce a new category to my blog where I vent my personal book review.
So happy reading everyone!

Have a nice time, wherever you are!
