doing plenty of reading, I’m really slacking on keeping track of it. My Excel spreadsheet is years behind, and even my written list is haphazard. For the most part, my reading is scattered on little scraps of paper, most of which are in storage right now. I’m trying to get the recently-read books into my spreadsheet, but it’s going to be a while before I get things organized again.
Currently my spreadsheet is at 415,418 pages- but the correct total at this point is probably closer to 430,000.

a journal of all of the books that I’ve read since I was 15- June 30, 1975 was my first entry. It includes only books- no magazines or comics or anything like that. It’s on paper and also in an Excel spreadsheet now.
I’m a bit behind on my spreadsheet, so I’ll just mention where I was at the end of last year. As of 12/31/05, I had read 1518 books, totalling 410,937 pages.
Almost halfway there :)
Just for fun, here’s the listing of the first 15 books on my list:
