A Reading Update

As you all may recall, my reading resolution for 2010 is 40,000 pages. I am doing quite well on it, or at least, keeping pace. As of yesterday, I am 17.4875% done (that is 6995 pages) with 16.4384% of the year gone.

77 Love Sonnets
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

Blue Sky July: A True Tale of Love, Light and 'Impossible Odds'
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

Extras (Uglies, #4)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)

That makes 31 in all, for 10941 pages and 355 points. These should all be clickable links if you are interested in any, or you can just ask and I would be happy to talk about them more!!

i never asked how you liked Water for Elephants, though maybe its on your goodreads review, eh?

If your goal is to read 10K pages, then shouldn't almost 7K pages be 70%? Wouldn't 17.5% be 1750 pages?

Either way, I'm totally impressed :)

Laurelyn - water for elaphants was OK, would have preferred there be a more realistic twist at the end.

Allison - your math is correct, I had a typo in the post. my goal is 40K, not 10K. I corrected it.
