The League of Extraordinary Gentle - Men of la - Book Challenge

The League of Extraordinary Gentle - Men of la - Book Challenge
The League of Extraordinary Gentle - Men of la - Book Challenge is being hosted by Zohar at Man of la Book!

This is a very creative challenge, especially for those of us who don't necessarily read graphic novels at all.  This is a perpetual challenge, so there is no need to feel rushed into completing it right away.

From the blog:

I thought it would be fun to read those clas­sic nov­els and then the graphic novel to see how the cre­ators man­aged to take such clas­sics and mix them up all together.

1. The goal is to read the clas­sic books and the graphic novel to see how they all tie together. No blog is needed, a review on Ama­zon, Goodreads, etc. is good enough. 

2. What counts: books, eBooks, audio books


3. Crossovers from other read­ing chal­lenges count.

The books are (in no spe­cific order):
Drac­ula by Bram Stoker
Twenty Thou­sand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Steven­son
The Invis­i­ble Man by H.G. Wells
The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells
– Any Fu Manchu novel
– Any Sher­lock Holmes novel
– Any Allan Quater­main novel
– Any James Bond novel

and
- The League of Extra­or­di­nary Gen­tle­men graphic novel to tie it all together.

Very cool challenge!  I already have Dracula on my TBR shelf, so I will likely start with that :)  Head on over to sign up!
