Another month has gone, which means it is time to check out my overall progress. My target for February was eight books, which I missed by one. That puts my current total at fourteen, giving me an average of 1 book/4.21 days. I am still well behind the necessary 1/3.65 average, but am pleased with my progress thus far. I am still two books ahead of last year’s pace.
Here is the breakdown of February’s books:
1 Novel: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
2 Plays: The Comedy of Errors and Julius Caesar
2 Historical/Biographical Works: Churchill: An Unruly Life and A Moveable Feast
1 Philosophical Book: Human, All Too Human
1 Educational Book: The Elements of Style
Book of the Month: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
All of the books I read over the past month were excellent, but le Carre’s book was definitely my favorite.
Last year I read 13 books in March, and I hope to match that total this year. Wish me luck!
