End of August

So, it's the end of August, which means it's time for the monthly "what I read list."

No, I'm not going to post the whole thing. Y'all have seen most of it show up here.

But, I am proud to say that this month was a record breaker.

No, for real. The last three years I've been keeping track of everything I read. The best I ever did was in January of 2005. I wasn't working, and didn't have classes. I read 33 books.

This month, it was 34.

Yahoo!!

19 of them I had read before. 15 were new. Considering me, that's pretty impressive.
