So, I've used Excel and gone through all the books I have read this year so far, with the few exceptions of books I have not marked. Originally, I set a vague goal of 20,000 pages as I really have no idea of what I will read next. (Of course I have a TBR pile, but I could pick a book from the pile and read it - oh, the suspense and surprise).
Literally just finished calculating, and so far I've read (drum roll, please) 16,899 pages! Wow!
So my goal of 20,000 will now be pushed up to 30,000.

I've been wanting to read this for the longest time. My friend has been trying to discourage me. How did you like it?
Cassandra wrote: "That's great, Nick!"Thanks! I had a spare moment today so I decided to give it a go.
I'm actually more surprised by the amount of pages I've read so far.
