ploomf Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Finally finished Early Mormonism and the Magic World View by D Michael Quinn. Was long, 730 pages. Made me think too much though, now I have to go read something easy and let my brain rest. :p
Spem in alium Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Hi, Spem, Glad to see you back. Are you finished with it, or in process of reading it? If you've finished, do you want to give us a page count? (You can look it up on Amazon if you want.... page counts are listed there! If you can't find your exact edition, find one that is similar.... :) I'll probably update again in the evening of Saturday or on Sunday, so time to post any further progress on your reading! Hi! I've read it. Amazon says it has 328 pages :) Working through Sense and Sensibility now.
Anastasia13 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) We can count movies??? Cause I loved Dracula! Bram Stoker is a genius. I'll find another version to watch, and even give you comparative analysis of versions. One of these years I will finish the book, but in the mean time, 1992 and 1931 were the best versions so far. I'm happy to find another as long as it is not the Nosferartu. That may have been an inspiration for Dracula, but not my style. (Which is not to say that I have recently watched this movie, just liked it.

Anastasia13 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I still think we could let people count small prayer books. Why not? Byz? I've given up on the LOTH...counting it, but not praying it. ;) Here's what we'll do: We'll count prayer books (including LOTH), but only by page number (since you generally don't go straight through a prayer book). Is that a compromise we can live with? I actually do that with smaller prayer books-read straight through once. Not the big ones like liturgy books though. Just saw movies based on books do not count but audiobooks do count.
Dr. Bombay Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Doc Bomb…… 8 1 Maccabees - 33 pages 2 Maccabees - 24 pages The Secret Adversary - 252 pages Sons of Cain - 444 pages The Gospel of Matthew - 60 pages 1 Timothy - 7 pages Job - 39 pages Titus - 3 pages To be documented: "250 Miscellaneous Mysterious Things" - 6,042 pages COUNT ME!!!!! :bounce:
AnneLine Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Working on the stats over here... late tonight or early in the AM for the postings. Uh... need some names of books, Dr. Bomb-bay.... otherwise these 6,042 pages will get ejected out the back of this vee-hickle! (unless St. Byz intercedes for you...) You started a nice discussion thread on your Orientale Lumen book, which ought to count for something...
Dr. Bombay Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 You started a nice discussion thread on your Orientale Lumen book, which ought to count for something... I did? Oh. Just finished The Apocalypse Explained - 226 pages

Just finished The Apocalypse Explained - 226 pages Ooops, Dr. B -- that part about Orientale Lumen should have been addressed to L&T For YOU, we will be able to document The Apocalypse Explained at 226 page.... and the others if you can cough up titles. Will get to the update late tonight.... and after this, Byz & I have agreed he'll take back the reins on the how many books part, and I'll focus on how many pages. All other stuff stays the same. Now I gotta get to Mass!!!!! AND I'LL READ A BOOK WHILE I AM ON THE TRANSIT!!!! Still chucking away at The Killer Angels - I highly recommend it. Absolutely beautifully written.
ChristinaTherese Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Hm.... I'm reading The Lord of The Rings right now, in the middle of The Two Towers (I'll get you the page count for The Fellowship of The Ring later), and this might be the encouragement I need to read other stuff like the CCC and various parts of the Bible. (I generally figure I get enough scripture in daily Mass, the Office of Readings (as well as the rest of the LOTH), and maybe other stuff occasionally, but it would probably be good to sit down and read.)
Anastasia13 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 You started a nice discussion thread on your Orientale Lumen book, which ought to count for something... Will let you know when I finish. :) Read: Hip-Hop: Nelly (biography) byt James Hooper, 55 pages. 20th Century Russian Poetry sections: Wilgem Zorgenfry (2 pages), David Burlyuk (2 pages), Korney Chukovsky (4 pages), Demyan Bedny (3 pages), and Nikolai Klyuyev (3 pages).
AnneLine Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Haven't forgotten you all... just ran out of time tonight. :) Early Monday hopefully... Edited July 8, 2013 by AnneLine
AnneLine Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) BG, congrats on completing Atlas Infernal. Wanna give us a number of pages? And do you have a new one you are starting? Sorry I've been a little swamped with stuff out here in SFO land.... will get these up by tonight. Anyone else want to add page numbers or next books? or books in progress? I know that the ARFinks are reading... saw 'em on ARFinks thread. Yikes! I'm still slugging through Killer Angels... about 3/4 of the way through. Heartbreaking, but beautifully written.... I'm re-reading Mount Joy by Daisy Newman.... it is a novel about a college age woman who did the Camino in the mid-1960s (WAY before it was popular); it's a good read (if a little dated) but is giving me a lot of help on the 'Nunsense Walking the Camino de Santiago' thread in Open Mic... That thread is also a good read, btw... if I do say so myself... ;) seeing as how she & I are the prime writers on that one..... ... and she can use everyone's encouragement. It is a LONG and HOT walk! Edited July 8, 2013 by AnneLine
ContemporaryCaflicCrusader Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 22 page Superman comic on top of that bilingual instruction booklet. And that's not including ads. With ads the comic is 27 pages. So 29 pages total this summer. Holla if you think I still have a chance!
