200 Books

So I’m gone as of three pm tomorrow…gone to peace and quiet and rest and lots of reading. Don’t forget to add your guess of how many pages I will read over the weekend two posts down. Right now we have a range from 67 & 3/4 (thank you Brent for the vote of confidence!) up to 2500 (my sister has boundless confidence). I usually average around a page a minute but I do intend to sleep in…and eat… By the way, there will be no new post here for two WHOLE days! Shocking I know, but I hope you all will survive. I’ll let you know Sunday night IF I survived…

I’m taking Aesop’s Fables, Joan Didion’s We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live, Raymond Chandler’s Collected Short Stories, The Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. I’m thinking of throwing in a few others just to make sure I’ve got all my possible moods covered but I think that’s more than enough to keep me busy (Chandler’s book is over 1500 pages all by itself!).

I finished Dubliners today and read A Christmas Carol. I’d intended to save Dickens for, well, Christmas but I wanted something quick and easy for the evening so I breezed through it. I read it on the computer through Project Gutenberg and I’m really not such a fan…free is good, but paper and boards and ink are so much better!
