As I told you not too very long ago, I’ve just finished another set of 100 books (not counting the comic books and graphic novels (of which latter there was only one, sort of, and it was one of the very rare books so bad that I gave it a single star in my rating …

1600 Books
Finally I have finally finished Paradise Lost, which I’ve been reading off and on (mostly off, as you will gather) for well over a year now. I can’t even claim that I got stuck in the ancillary materials in this, the Norton critical edition, because it is the poem itself that made my steps through …
Book List: 1500 Books
In fulfillment of a promise I made you a little while back, allow me to present the last 100 books I read in my silly, silly little book tracking project, wherein I’ve been cataloguing all my books since the summer of 2013, and have been recording each book I complete since July of 2015. This …
Book List: 1400 Books
On the last day of February this year I finished book #1400, Hank Janson’s Kill Her With Passion, a “very silly, throwaway book” as I called it when I told you I’d completed another century of books. And yet I haven’t thrown it away. I have a special fondness for books that aren’t great, but …
1500 Books
Well, I’ve gotten out over my skis a bit, I’m afraid. In my increasingly silly book tracking project I began after receiving book database software from my wife oh many years ago now, I have reached the milestone of having read, officially (which means here that I entered the date I finished the book in …
1400 Books
Kindly readers of this blog will know that I’ve been tracking my books in a database provided by my lovely (and talented!) wife many years ago. And that I’ve been numbering the books read in that same software. And, additionally, that I have some strange scruple by which I don’t count comic books (and graphic …
Book List: 1300 Books
Just after Christmas of 2023 … it may have been in the new year and it may not … my wife and I were driving by a Little Library in our neighborhood and she said “You want to check it out?” and I said yes and—30 seconds later she saw me coming to the car …
1300 Books
Welp Has it already been three-and-a-half months since I first realized I’d made another data entry mistake in my Great Book Tracking Project and had to correct my ongoing mistake before giving you, my one or two readers of this blog (I’m being optimistic here), the summary data for the last hundred books I’d read? …
1300 Books — Aaargh!
Welp. I had thought that I’d just finished Book #1300 in my Great Book Tracking Project only this past Friday. However. Well, I came to find out, as I did my silly little analyses on the last tranche of One Hundred Books that … well, erm … I’d once again made a dumb mistake as …
Book List: 1200 Books
As I told you over two months ago, I recently finished my twelve hundredth book in my little silly book tracking project. So—though we won’t be talking about the silly book pictured here (if you must know more about this awful and boring religious book masquerading as a science fiction slash fantasy novel, check out …
