I finished my 19th century of books two-and-a-half weeks ago, but haven’t taken time to tell you about it until now because of reasons. Book #1900 in my silly book tracking project was The Wind In The Willows, by Kenneth Grahame, in an Everyman’s Library Children’s Classic edition with illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Somehow I’d …

Book List: 1700
As promised, here is the complete listing of the last 100 books I’ve read. As is my standard practice, I do not count comics and graphic novels (or books of strips like Zippy or The Far Side, for that matter) towards that 100 book total, though I will list those here for your perusal and …
1700 Books
In a fuzzy sort of way (as in ‘logic’ and ‘Bear’, though not as in ‘creatures from Alpha Centauri (those were furry, which opens a whole ‘nother can of worms)), I’ve been rereading all the Philip K. Dick novels in sorta the order of publication, and so at last came to 1964, and so to …
Book List: 1600 Books
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 …
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? …
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 …
