As I told you not too very long ago .. oh, who am I fooling? it’s been quite over a month now … I recently passed the eleven hundredth book read in my little silly book tracking project. And that means it’s time once again to foist upon you a listing of all of the …

1100 Books
I just now finished my 1100th book since I started keeping track, way back in 2015. My 1100th book (not counting comics and books of the graphic novel type) was The Sensuous Dirty Old Man by Dr. “A”, a pseudo-pseudonym for Isaac Asimov. It’s a funny little throwaway humor book capitalizing on the (then) popularity …
2023 By The Numbers
10% (Ten Percent)
Anyone with a large library will frequently be asked the same tiresome question: “Have you read all of these books?” As if books were objects merely to be read, and not treasures to be savored, to be stored up against the (seemingly) inevitable collapse of all that is good and holy in this world. Now, …
Book List: 1000 Books
As I’m trying not to procrastinate quite as much as I did last time I finished a tranche of one hundred books, let’s get right down to the listing of all those last books read, from #901 through my thousandth (!) book read since beginning this silly little book tracking project back in the two-thousand-teens. …
1000 Books! (!)
It gives me very great pleasure to announce that late last night (that is to say, early this morning) I finished reading my 1000th book since I began tracking my reading, way back in 2015. My wife actually gave me as a birthday gift ten years ago the book database software (along with a barcode …
Book List: 900 Books
After finally getting around to giving you the listing for books #701 – #800, I managed to place my brain into a state of suspended animation, going through the motions and going to work, and completely neglecting the fact that I’d also promised to give you the Book List for #801 – #900. So here …
Book List: 800 Books
As I mentioned last week, though I just finished my 900th book (since beginning this fatuous book tracking project in June of 2015), I still owe you a book list—if not the data analysis I never seem to get around to—of the hundred books read up to Book #800, which I finished away back in …
900 Books
Yesterday I finished my 900th book, counting back from the time when my wife gave me a barcode scanner and a book database and I started keeping track of such things, back in 2015. My 900th book (as usual discounting comic books and graphic novels from my ‘official’ count, of which I’ve read some 118 …
1000 Books (not really)
In the beginning was the word …. Well, in fact those words come well over halfway through this, The Book. I started reading a little bit each day just over a year ago, as sort of a 2022 project, and have just finished the last chapter of The Revelation of Saint John the Divine this …
