I've only read six books this year. When I write year in this situation, I mean 4/4/09 because I started my book log 4/4/07. That 'year' I read 120, then the next: 39. Embarrassing. Mom pointed out that that's still more than other people but it's still one third what I read in 2007. I think I'll keep track of the pages this 'year'. I did notice that most of the books I read in 2007 were things like Series of Unfortunate Events.
I still haven't been writing. Well, I just did but it doesn't count. I really want to (as I wrote before, this writing doesn't count so I can write really and very as many times as I really want to) but I can't decide what will happen to my personality-less, dieing before the book starts, 127 galaxies away from home, little assassin. His song (if he cared for Gaian rhythms): Ordinary World. I have a few ideas. He could realize he's dieing and run away from home (he's older), something could happen to one of his family members (I have big things planed out for them), TDC could come to get him as an enemy or to help him survive. OR A BIG METEOR COULD CRASH INTO THE EARTH, KNOCKING IT OFF IT'S AXIS!!!..............yeah.
I know what will make me happy! I'll have a lecture marathon!

Decisions. Decisions. Good luck with it.

I used to keep track of the number of pages I read while on the three month patrols. It would usually be near 10,000.
That was pretty much limited by my free storage space on the sub (minus clothes, 10 cartons of cigarettes, and other sundries). There were a lot of books floating around the ship, but not many worth reading. The unwashed masses preferred movies and cribbage.
I would try and take a variety of books. A couple of Louis L'Amour type fictions would go early in the run. A couple of Dante's Inferno type classics were usually left til the bottom of the barrel.
You will figure it out! And you read more last "year" then me. I read a lot of magazines, does Time, The Atlantic, and US count?
