   In line with the creation of 30 hubs in 30 days. Couldnt we create a read 100 hubs in 30 days? Thus increasing comments and interest in hubs. That would be reading about 3 or 4 hubs a day for 30 days... UMm whos up to it?
   
   I already get a number of peoples hubs sent to my inbox when they publish something new, so I am reading at least 5 hubs a week, plus what I browse whilst Im here.
   
   Whose up to it? Read 100 hubs in 30 days?

      I already read about a dozen hubs a day. I have so many interests and HubPages has articles on evertything that pops in my mind as fascinating. I agree more people should read more. If you want to write clean copy, you need to read a lot.

      Great idea, Salt! I also like the day of leaving a comment on each to prove you read it.
      
      This morning I woke up to nine comments on eight different hubs I wrote from a new follower. I'm still not finished replying to all of her comments, but it was a great boost to me.
      
      Reading 100 in 30 days-- reading and commenting takes a little more effort, but I'm going to try for a personal record at least.

   Since I am way more likely to do that than write even 30 in 30 days (last time I only got to 16 in 3 months!) so yes, I'm in. I enjoy reading hubs.

   Both are great ideas. The 30 hubs in 30 days would be easier for some... I am going for the advanced read of 100. Yet, the read 30 in 30 days is fantastic too, as it will get people reading each others work.

    Keith - agreed.  I just wish I had more time to spend. I love to read and write, but w/ 2 small kids at home, its been ages since I've gotten my nose into a book that didn't have cardboard pages.  At least I can be a little more productive here.  Easier to commit to an article, than a whole book.  But, I agree that reading others' work is immeasureably helpful to one's own writing.

    100 in 30 is  alot for me, I spend very little time online, but I'm at 15 in 9 days, so I'm making a dent at least.  I usually do 1 or 2 each time I log on, but I don't get to log on very often.  So, averaging about 2/day is pretty good for me.  As I said, the last few days really put me behind, but I'm going to try to step it up this weekend if I can.
