It's not that I have a lot of reading to do, by my standards, I'm just not finishing as fast as is usual for me.
Just took two books off my Currently Reading List...will include them after I finish.

I just realized that I never actually finished The Longest Day: The Classic of D-Day, and therefore my total should actually be 350 pages lower... . I'd do it myself but I'm currently feeling too lazy to do it... .
I guess I could just start with adding my current pages finished to Kathy's most recent total and subtracting the extra 350 pages to get the correct total... .Stuff They Don't Want You to Know

From Amber's correction the total pages should have been 988,029-350=987,629 then add 499 to get 988,128+367=988,495988,495+396=988,891
So, the correct total to add from here is 988,891
