200 Books

I thought today would be a good chance to review my remaining list. I have 37 titles left for a total of 12,187 pages. This means I only have to read an average of 203 pages per day to make it! My original average was supposed to be 220 or so which means that somehow I’ve caught up. I find this vaguely unbelievable. And somewhat exhilarating. I was quite a bit behind at one point (it’s all kinda fuzzy though) and am still a bit concerned about finishing. I still have to read more than half a book every day and there are some impressively long ones left! Like all 1500-plus pages of Rabbit Angstrom or all 900 pages of The Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran. I’m happy though because I’m sure that between the holidays and the rest of life, I’ll still have to concentrate to make it, but hooray anyway!

I did read all of The Analects today and chipped away a bit more at Joan Didion. Onward!
