I didn't even remotely try. Tom Send a noteboard - 02/01/2011 01:04:35 AM
I read some of the longest books ever published last year, and there were two six-week periods when I just couldn't read anything, so I think getting to 25 was an achievement. That counts Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire as one book (not six, which is how many volumes it was broken into in my edition) and Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy as one, not three. Otherwise, I guess I made it to 32.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I, er, didn't. Nor did I keep a list, so no idea how many I read. - 01/01/2011 01:24:07 PM 850 Views

I would count the Gibbon separately, to be honest - 02/01/2011 01:28:35 AM 812 Views
I was still nowhere near 50, though. - 03/01/2011 03:45:32 AM 885 Views
