Welp. I had thought that I’d just finished Book #1300 in my Great Book Tracking Project only this past Friday. However.<\/p>\n

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 I entered this nonsense into my database, had gone from Book #1231 backwards to Book #1222, and … d’oh! Anyway, so I learn that my actual Book #1300 was not<\/strong> the Solar Pons novel Mr. Fairlie’s Final Journey<\/em> (which I’d only read quickly so as to avoid having Ayn Rand’s travesty The Fountainhead<\/em> as my 1300th Book Read), but instead the pretty decent entry in Penguin’s series of modern poetry, Penguin Modern Poets 7 Murphy Silkin Tarn<\/em>, pictured here.<\/p>\n

I also know now, to my chagrin (having made a similar mistake in the last tranche of 100 books), and to quite a number of weary sighs, that I have to go back and correct some 70 odd book entries in my database and in the spreadsheets I use to generate the data for this nonsense that I present to you on this almost entirely unread blog.
