Summer Reading Competition

[AnneLine]

i read 2 page of a rulebook gotten and print from the web.  No package in the mail yet with the big rulebooks lol.  Hold on what about all the fantasy football magazines I bought and read and memorized this summer?  What about rereading?  How close are we to 100,000?

 

 

CCC, with your help, as of last night we were up to 129,234 pages   and heading for 140,000!!!!

 

As of that point, 534 books documented read by my count.... and we have 26 readers.

 

AND MORE of EACH as of today!!!!!

 

 

I'll add your additional 2 pages next count.

 

Glad we have inspired you to buy & read -- and MEMORIZE -- written material, CCC!!!! :rotfl:

 

I believe Byz said magazines over 50 pages count... but you'll have to look over the middle of the thread to find out for sure...

 

I'll count the pages if you give me the mag title and date, and approx. # ok?  

 

Like this:

 

Rules Are For Breaking Magazine, May 2006, 53 pages

 

Rereading is COOOL!

 

So are audiobooks while working out! 

 

We are a liberal bunch here!!!!   We just want everybody to have fun!!!!!

 

And we NEED more guy readers!!!!!!!

You never know what you're going to find when you open a library book. If you read this, skip the "silly" parts.

 

Tinker -- Wen Spencer -- 438

 

The story itself was really good though.

Welcome, CMaria! We'll look forward to getting your books for the count. We need name, author, and page numbers if you want pages counted.

I know that names, authors and pg numbers are needed :) hence the "I'll give specifics soon"

But somebody start reading!!!

[BG45]

AL, feel free to use your Bible's page count :)

[AnneLine]

Hey, CarterMia.... the monkeys and llama are rebelling. 

 

You really do need to LIST the books if you want us to count 'em.   That's what we have told everyone. 

 

We'll take a sum total for the number of pages, but we need you to do the list.  (I'll say it -- AnneLine is a MEAN SPITTING LLAMA!!!!)

 

 

I'll plan to do the full count update tomorrow to give you (and anyone else) time to get those titles and authors and pages in here.... and then the final list will be after competition ends!!!!!

 

Wheeee!!!!!

A Great and Terrible Beauty- 403 pgs

 

I seem to remember really liking that trilogy, but this book is the one that stood out to me most. I may have to re-read the whole thing someday.

[AnneLine]

It's not too late to document books read between June 8 and September 1 at midnight!!!!!

 

Just give us the name and author -- and if you want, the number of pages.... we're at 428 books and 133805 pages, with a little over 6000 still to be documented by their readers.....

 

We have done this with just 28 readers... and we want the rest of you to get in on the end of this if you wish!!!!

 

Maybe.... is it possible?   Could we could hit 150,000 pages????

[cmaD2006]

Using Amazon for pg numbers:

 

a) Crazy love, Francis Chan, 205 pgs

b) Embracing Obscurity, Anonymous (I'm serious), 224 pgs

c) Voyage of the Dawn Treader, CS Lewis, 256 pgs

d) The Silver Chair, CS Lewis, 256 pgs

e) God Is All Joy: The Life of St. Teresa of the Andes, Jennifer Moorcroft, 163 pgs

 

I also read 1/2 of a spanish book on St. John Vianney (the whole book was over 600 pgs long).  Can that count?  (I got to chapter 30 something before I got tired of reading about St. John Vianney in 1/2 hr chunks, and it was time to move on to book (b)).  I can get a precise page count tonight.

 

It looks like articles count?  I read a whole bunch of articles while on retreat.  I won't count the exercises because I really didn't read the whole book, I prayed most of it though :).  I'll get the page counts from the articles tonight (I guestimate at least 50).

 

[MissyP89]

I'm No Angel by Kylie Bisutti, 304 pgs

In progress: Wildfire by Sarah Micklem, read approx 300 pages so far of 517.

[Deus te Amat]

Spellwright by Blake Charlton. 350

[Chrysophylax]

Um, I read the TASK force tutor training handbook which is about 20 pages.

 

[AnneLine]

OK, tallying these up as of 8pm PDT tonight.  Will have an updated list within an hour or less unless I run into a problem.

 

 

In answer to a few questions over last days....

 

CCC, I'll count your 2 pagers as books, but I think Byz has stricter rules on what equals a book....  and pages are pages as far as I am concerned....

 

The171, feel free to list all the books in a group on one thread if you want -- saves both of us some pages.

 

(Would be a horrible thing to have the thread closed for hitting 50 pages just before we end the competition!!!)

 

And CarterMia, so far you haven't given me titles, so I'm going to count the last 2 series you proposed as to be documented... you have till the end of the competition to get them counted......

 

YES, we are having fun... .and we are not yet done!!!!!!
