Hello all. I hope you are well and doing well, wether you're doing well with the challenge or not. We're about 200 days in, so we should be hitting book 20, if you're on the one-every-ten-days plan. (How in the hell did we get that far into the Year?!?!?!) I've fallen off the pace. I've only got 11 down. It's my own fault. I've actually read 16 books since the start of the year but only 11 could count for the challenge. And then there's the fact I "discovered", which means I knew, I just didn't what to admit it to myself, that I had over 90 volumes of manga sitting around the house I hadn't read yet. 90! So, I decided to read that instead. Such is the best laid plans of mice and men. I suppose I could catch up if I read short, 200 pagers, but I've got Three by Stephenson, and two by Simmons. If I get through those five, that's 3500 pages or so. Gee, the rest of my reading year is planned out. But then, that's why it's called a challenge. So, tip of the cap to those on pace or above. A hearty come on guys, to those slightly behind the pace. And a bow to the early finisher.
