![]() ![]() Three (The Book of Lost Books, The Bite in the Apple, and William Safire’s Take My Word for It) I abandoned partway through. ![]() Or, rather, looking at the spreadsheet more carefully, I started 62 books and finished 59. This year, as last year, I managed to pass the target by a comfortable margin: 62(!) books read, assuming I don’t finish the current book before January 1. So: 13 four-week periods times three books. To wit: The library’s check-out period is four weeks I always take out three books (one “general” fiction, one nonfiction, one alternating between mystery and fantasy/science fiction). I started keeping a spreadsheet of books I’d read three or four years ago (OK: January 6, 2011–make that “five years ago”) because I was starting to use the excellent local public library a lot more and, being old, didn’t want to accidentally pick up the same book twice.Īs a side-effect, the spreadsheet lets me know how many books I’ve actually read each year. ![]()
