Original goal: to read 20 books by the end of June.
Final results: 16 books read, 1 abandoned, 4 incomplete¹.
It’s only the 28th! You could still do it!
…no. The 4 books left?
- The Rest is Noise - 7300 of 15,103 Kindle locations—after 6 weeks of reading, mind
- His Excellency: George Washington - 535 of 5831 Kindle locations
- The Inheritance of Rome - not started
- 2666 - 77 of 912p
So, I’m calling it.
That said, I’m pretty happy with how much I read and the variety thereof. The 2 biggest reasons I didn’t finish the list: a nearly 2-month break in the middle and choosing the entire list up front in January. I’m giving myself some slack on the break: getting laid off wasn’t exactly planned. Heh.
For the next set of 20 (by New Year’s :P), book selection as I go. I’ll choose a few at a time, so there are always a few on deck, but fixed list…pass! (:
One of the side effects of not letting myself read anything but the list was an ever-increasing backlog in my living room. Ahem…
(full size)
¹ My math’s not off, the final list ended at 21, but I didn’t feel like changing the tag. :D
