To clarify what exactly the 1,000 Nights Challenge is:
In 2001, Ray Bradbury gave a speech at the University of California where he encouraged young writers to read three things every night:
- One short story (Dahl, Hemingway, Matheson, Cheever, Kneale, Collier), Warton, Irving)
- One poem (Shakespeare, Frost, Pope)
- One essay (Huxley, Eiseley)
Bradbury's goal is to make you into a collector of the metaphor -- filling your head with thoughts, theories, and ideas before bed, rather than completing another level in Angry Birds.
This repository is to help me 1.) follow Bradbury's advice and 2.) create a list of reading material to fill those 1,000 nights.
