read 1-2 books&lt;br /&gt;Level 2: Relocation - read 3-4 books&lt;br /&gt;Level 3: Local - read 5-6 books&lt;br /&gt;Level 4: Founder - read 7-8 books&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fun is in finding books that will work for this challenge - be creative!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this isn't going to be a rule for the challenge, please do visit this blog each month after the challenge begins to let us know what book you read and see what other's are reading (I'll have a form for you to fill out each month). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Hometown would refer to the city you live in or if you live in a small town, the county you live in or the closest major city. &amp;nbsp;Also, as in my case, I live in a&amp;nbsp;suburb&amp;nbsp;of St. Louis, so while St. Louis isn't the actual city that I live in, I consider myself a resident of St. Louis (I am considered St. Louis County after all). &amp;nbsp; As you can see, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to determining what city you should read about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="585" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=dE9CbGc4a1pGenYxaDJ2OUVfSk1uSkE6MQ" width="550"&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Loading...&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1366264960910895697-7091900475213480799?l=cityreadingchallenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cityreadingchallenge.blogspot.com/feeds/7091900475213480799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cityreadingchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/07/hometown-challenge-rules-and-sign-up.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366264960910895697/posts/default/7091900475213480799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366264960910895697/posts/default/7091900475213480799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityreadingchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/07/hometown-challenge-rules-and-sign-up.html' title='Hometown Challenge -
