How many have you read? (Reading the books on our group bookshelf) Showing 851-900 of 1,453

[Rachel]

Now this is a challenge I'm up for as there are many on the list which I have been wanting to read. So as at the end of October 2018 my stats were:

Oct 2018 24.9% (59/237)

[Jehona]

May 1st, 2018, 45 out of 217, so 20.7%
Nov 1st, 2018, 70 out of 237, so 29.5%

[Patty]

I didn’t go by any dates; I went through the 238 titles. I’ve read 41 of those titles which is around 17%.

It sounded like a lot until I did the math.

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Well my bookshelf ratings got a little messed up, but it looks like I only have 9 books remaining on the shelf to read. I’ve not been as hyperfocused lately on it or I think I would have finished it. As it is it may be February since I’m trying to keep up with the new monthly selections too.

[Sara, New School Classics]

Dang, BAM, I'm tipping my hat to you!

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Thank you!

[siriusedward]

True..

[Darren]

amazing BAM!

I am at bang-on 50%

120/240

[J_BlueFlower]

Congratulations on the 50%!

[Mike]

48!

Great job Darren!

It is a lot Patty! I started out at only 19 or something. Look how much Jehona above you increased her % in just 5 months. Congrats Jehona!

[Sue]

Congratulations also to J-Blue, Rachel, Helen, BAM , Darren and Michael. Great progress!

I decided that I'm only updating every quarter now that I'm well over 100 and it's so cumbersome to count. It's also a pain to add over 130 books to a list. I wish I would have started doing that earlier like some of you have.

Don't forget to VOTE for your new books all!

[Darren]

as I think I've mentioned before
it is the work of a few seconds to make a complete list
open the group bookshelf
display all books at once by extending the url with "&per_page=240" (or however many as the total grows in future) like so:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
copy and paste into a spreadsheet.

Thanks for that, Darren!

[Terris]

I'm at 210/240, 87.5%. I have a few immediate ones on the list that I'd like to finish. But a few that I don't know if I'll ever read. But I'd sure like to be at 100%!! ;)

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Excellent Terris!!!

I have a shelf called "catching-up-read‎". It is a work of less than seconds to see the number next to the title on my profile page.

Before you reach 100 books the simplest is to vote on the listopia list. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

Very nice Sara. You really kept up with the new books this last year, plus a few.

[Sara, New School Classics]

I'm not sure I can ever get above the 70% mark, because I seem to read at about the same pace that others are added. It is interesting to keep trying though.

[Richp]

120/138 of the list I saw. Not too bad since classics are usually worth reading, but not especially my thing. Encyclopedia of Bridges and Tunnels stands out for last month, even if it was not my type of engineering, or my book of the month.

Have fun reading whatever you like. Read a lot and vary it a bit or more, and you probably learn a lot.

[Stefania]

60/238 of the list, that mean 25% not so bad for me, a lot to discover

[Richp]

A a lot to discover is a real good attitude of looking at it. Go for it; fast or slow.

[Sara, New School Classics]

Yes, the perfect attitude, Stefania. I sometimes feel envious of people who are reading my favorites for the first time. Nothing beats the first time you read a book that blows you away.

That's great Sarah. Congratulations!

Love your steady progress.

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

I have six more to go until 100%!

[Rosemarie]

That is fantastic, BAM!

BAM wrote: "I have six more to go until 100%!"

Impressed too! How do you read so fast and so much? Can you remember a book, say, a year after reading it?

That means that you - probably as the only person in the group - as the total overview of all group books and can compare them all.

What are your top 5 favourites on the group shelf?

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Hmmm top 5....I’ll have to look at my rankings. Gone with the wind is definitely one, Les Mis, LOTR,
I have a much easier time picking out what I did not like

[Pink]

Okay, I'm intrigued with what you didn't like! What were your least favourites?

[Renee]

BAM wrote: "I have six more to go until 100%!"

😲 I can't believe you're almost at 100%! Great job reading them all!

I didn’t like Faulkner, Verne, Kidnapped, treasure Island, Moby Dick.
Every time Faulkner is picked I die a little inside.

As I Lay Dying is a little too literal in your case 😉

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Haha Laurie too indeed

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Oh and thank you so much Renee! I actually had quite a jump on the shelf by the time I joined the group, and I often have already read half of the options voted on each month, so I don’t have a lot of reading to do. I adore classic literature.

[Pink]

Oh I’ll be reading As I lay dying in January and it will be my first Faulkner! I’ve had mixed results with the other books you didn’t like.

Mine too! My sister bought it for me for my birthday a couple years ago, and I can't believe I still haven't read it yet! I'm looking forward to it though, because it's always nice to try a new (to me) author.

[GW]

I think all great novels have to be viewed by what is good and bad. I hope to think I see the good in a book that others before me have added merit to it. But their is one book, there is always one book that I struggled to finish and was left with a wtf is the reason. For me the book I loved to hate was "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. But then again I don't know anything about Post Modern authors. I hope to improve my understanding of the movement and then try others. I'm stuck in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. When I finish Ulysses I will probably think it is great, but now at 58 % I'm wondering how could I have spent my time reading better this last year.

Probably this months and next months books.
