After a strong start out of the blocks, I've fallen off the pace. (Not an unusual pattern for me!) Reading a good one at the moment but having trouble concentrating. Also a few non-fiction titles in there which tend to slow me down.
Orlion, by the sounds of it, your Crowley detour has been well worth it.

Not a deliberate omission I assure you, just a consequence of foggy brain. 20 books out of the 50 for the year I'm meant to be reading. 4 behind schedule apparently though I do have 5 on the go in various stages of mid readness so it may improve.Avatar wrote:Hahaha, I notice you don't give the actual numbers there...

Whatever the case, predictably, a hell of a long way behind you!

Well I wouldn't really either, but read 10 and that's a whole day's reading, so I think you can count them all as another book or two.I'm Murrin wrote:Most comic TPBs can be read in an hour, I don't count those.
4 isn't that bad in terms of the goal...slacker.Shaun das Schaf wrote:4 behind schedule apparently though I do have 5 on the go in various stages of mid readness so it may improve.

Yeah, I got set back by a new job, a John Crowley kick (the Aegypt Cycle was fantastic but put me behind 10 books that I never caught up with), and my Shakespeare goal was a complete bust.
Oh well, I might still make 50 books this year. I may even finish the Illuminatus! Trilogy before year's end
