stormhawk | 1184 comments 100 books means finishing a book in about 3 1/2 days, or between 8 and 9 book a month. That's a lot of reading for anybody. Over 80 is a fantastic achievement!

I have the advantage over a lot of people in that I can read at work (without penalty) if it's not busy, and also read quite quickly under ordinary circumstances. Life gets in the way of reading!

Elvia (elvb) Last year I hit over 100 with no problem. I wasn't even trying. But we didn't have the internet...so that has taken a LOT of my time. lol I would LOVE to read at work! I get an hour lunch so I read for a bit during that time unless I have errands to do. Otherwise it waits till I get home and 3 kids tends to consume me. lol

stormhawk | 1184 comments Crisis Centers have relatively few actual crises, mostly it's a parade of cold, homeless junkies trying to lie their way into three hots and a cot by using the "s" word. They take up a lot of time I would otherwise spend reading. I don't mean to give the wrong impression, every now and again I get to deal with someone who is actually seriously mentally ill that I can help.

Elvia (elvb) Completely understandable. :)

Elvia (elvb) 87. Side Jobs: Stories From the Dresden Files

With 4 days left, I might be able to get ONE more in before it's all over.

Elvia (elvb) Didn't get that extra book in. I tried to finish The Sweet Scent of Blood but something about her writing style irritated me. I'll try again next year. lol
Starting tomorrow I'm back on my 100 book challenge.

stormhawk | 1184 comments 87 is a fantastic achievement.

You rock for showing that interest in the printed word is not dead!
