I seem to have sparked some curiosity in my friends and coworkers, which is great! Some of you have asked if I need suggestions on books to read for this little project of mine. In one word, nope.
Here's why (and also an insight into my slightly askew psyche) by the numbers:
Project requirement: 200 books
Subtract the following (current as of August 16, 2011):
Books on hold at the library unread: 13
Books already signed out from the library unread: 28
Books owned unread: 119 (nope, not a typo. One hundred and nineteen. I just counted.)
Books being published in the next year that I will purchase or borrow (approx.): 10
Which leaves only 30 more titles yet to discover. Which I'm sure I will more than exceed - there will probably be some books in the count above that still won't get read in the next year!
So now you see my problem - too many books, too little time! Hence this blog - a little incentive to try and get caught up on my reading. One book every 1.8 days. Ish.
The countdown to our journey continues....
