6/1 - I'm seeing a pattern in the books I manage to finish...

Pronoia is the Antidote to Paranoia, Rob Brezsny

8/8 - Perhaps if I finished a book or two before I started a new one...

1/2/2008: Okay - not quite 50, and the majority I finished aren't the heaviest literary lifting. This year: more information along with the entertainment. Right after I finish A Feast for Crows. ; )
