I don't do a 50 book challenge because I never get close. Tom Send a noteboard - 11/01/2018 11:42:24 PM

I'm not sure what sorts of books other people read, but the ones I tend to pick are often dense, long and in foreign languages. If I were reading breezy fiction like Dan Brown or Neil Gaiman I'm sure I would overperform the five year plan 50 book challenge.

As it is, I try a 30-book challenge, which I usually hit. You can see my running list of books since 2006 in my profile.

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

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
