Recommended Posts

Wowwie!  I'll have to do an update pretty soon... maybe by tomorrow night?  Everyone's been reading fast and furious... I'm chunking away, but don't have enough time to catch up with our usual suspects..... DtA and Carter, I don't know how you do it...  I know you do it, but I just wish I could figure out your secrets!

Plugging away through St Thomas Aquinas' Commentary on the Gospel of St John. According to my Kindle I am about 20% of the way through. That will definitely be my challenge book. I'm also reading "Wherever He goes" By Fr Phillipe (also a commentary on the Gospel of St John). I might throw in a couple of other books in there just for fun but I'm really trying to focus on these two for now.

The laptop computer has gone away for an indefinite period of time so more reading (and letter writing) will get done.

Working on the Current Stats....

 

Tigger60 sent me a message a few days ago (when she was on vacation) that she had finished The Good Man (273 pages).

 

Not so many readers this year, but you are all working HARD!!!!  :bible: :bible: :bible:

Meh.....falling badly behind. 

 

Only thing I have read aside from the LOTH is a book of popsicle recipes. It's full of pictures. 48 pages. Lots of ice!

Welll.... you all better say a prayer because I just did ALL the stats... and the laptop has frozen.  I am hopeful I can get it to unfreeze and get the data off... otherwise... (CRY!) I will have to start from square one and doe all of it all over again.

 

It took 3 hours so I really don't want to do that....

 

And you all might be interested in the numbers... if I can get 'em out to you... might be a few surprises in there!

 

Come on computer....   :sos:

And thank you to whoever did the praying because as mysteriously as it froze, it just unfroze.  Dangest thing I have ever seen....

 

So... in a few mins... we have the stats!  But I don't know if all the stuff was 'caught' when it did the auto save, so lemme check it over and then I will post it....

 

Thank you, Lord!  :heart:

OK... now it looks like I was able to pull everything back up (thank you, Lord!)... but it is possible that one or more small corrections didn't get caught.

 

Sorry if the number lines are a bit wonky... Phatmass was not designed to display stats!   :P

Please read your own info carefully and let me know if there are any mistakes.  I'll happily correct them next update if you ask nicely.   :)

 

For some of you I found a page count on Amazon, but it could be different from your copy, so check the numbers.   Country Steve, I used the page count from my own bible for the Book of Matthew... 'your mileage may differ'.   ;)

 

Surprise, Max!!!    So... do you think we can get to 50,000 pages by the end of the 'Book Thing'?  Maybe if we all start to push ourselves...... We're at a little over 10,000 right now.... Carter and DtA and Max... we need your help, but we will do our part!!!!
