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

Hardly 20 minutes have passed since I finished my 1200th book in my silly book-tracking project, which I began in earnest ‘way back in 2015. As per usual, I do not count comics and graphic novels (nor books about comics, for that matter) towards this total figure, though I am tracking the aggregate numbers as …
Book List: 1100 Books (The Last Hundred)
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, …
