Since I last posted about my book project progress, I’ve read 3 more books: two more of Farmer’s “World of Tiers” series, which is getting more and more interesting and fun, and Fight Club, which I enjoyed quite a bit, but for different reasons from those for which I enjoyed the film.

In addition to trying to read 100 books this year, I think I’m also going to try to keep my average pages per book to be more around 300. I don’t want to feel like I’m inflating my book count by just reading short stuff, which if you look at the list, I kind of am right now.
