Yesterday I read 100 pages in The Casual Vacancy. It was good to read more than the quota again. In fact, I nullified the deficit from the day before... and then some!
It's getting more and more intense, but she's only got 123 pages left in the book... I'm just not sure how it's all going to wrap up. I mean, I think it's been a really good book, I'm just not sure how it's going to finish.
Which is really the mark of a good book, anyway. I mean, I still have a quarter of the book left, after all.
I still need to read 63.08 pages today to meet the quota. Getting the number down before starting in on Orientalism is my goal. 4 of my next 5 books are under 300 pages one is even under 100! Those should go by a little more quickly, and The Traitor Queen will go by quickly because I really enjoy Trudi Canavan.
I'm hoping that Little Women and Gone With the WInd are good reads. I've been told that they are, I just dunno if they'll necessarily be quick reads, one over 100 pages, the other still over 500.
The good news is that I've read over 1000 pages as of yesterday! After day before yesterday I was at exactly 1000, but was unaware of it! 1000 pages in a month... on the 9th! No wonder my quota has dropped so drastically! Huzzah!
