Byzantine

Recommended Posts

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).

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!!!!!!

Should get this posted just after midnight....in about 1.5 hours.

 

The171.... yes you CAN count the Lit&Comp text book IF you read it before the contest ends. :)

 

(I was a World & Comparative Literature major myself, so I know what those are like!)

 

IF it is an anthology of short stories, etc., you can count each 'book' separately or you can count it as 1 big book.  Your choice, but if you want credit for the sub=books, you need to list what is in there.  :)   (See what someone did with the Anthology of Sherlock Holmes books...)

 

Chrys... saw that tutoring manual - did reading tutoring myself, and now you should have a good idea of how to set up a reading challenge!!!!!!

 

 

So... when I post the new numbers, please check YOUR section to see if it is accurate!   If asked nicely, I will make changes for any errors found, but probably only on the final tally.  

 

Will be interesting to see who is starting to show up in the top numbers..... both on book counts and on page counts.....

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).

 

Ok to update:

 

 

f) San Juan Maria Vianney, P. Elieser Salesman, 353 pages.

g) Discernment of Spirits, Fr. Tim Gallagher, 232 pgs

 

(And I forgot -- this was while on travel for work!)

h) Immaculee Ilibagiza, Led by Faith, 275 pages

i) Alex Jones, No Price too High, 284

 

So my count now is:   2248. 

---------------------------

 

And I will look at the articles (or chapters of books as appropriate) that I read and post them tonight.

Ok I just remembered a few more that I read

 

The Magician's Nephew-202

The Silver Chair-243

The Last Battle-211

The Horse and His Boy-224

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader-248

Le Colonel Chabert -85 pages (and yes this was in French)

 

For a total of 1,213 pages

 

I think we can go for 150,000 pages!

Hey, CMaria and TheresaThoma, thanks for the additional pages and books.

 

TheresaThoma, I think we can get to 150,000 if we push as well!!!!!   Maybe we want to try to rope in some more 'readers' who don't realize they could be documenting pages!   (And books and total readers, for that matter!)

 

A request from the Llama and trained monkeys for all readers:

  • All of you, check your numbers on the lists above.  We want you to get proper credit....
  • Be sure to let us know if you are NOT going to finish a book in progress.
  • Also it will help us if you let us know you ARE reading a book you hope to get done by Sept 1... and how many pages it is...

Giving us that info will help your dedicated staff to get the totals done faster.    Thank you!!!!

 

 

 

Byz, please check yours as well for the page count.  Some of the difference may be that I count a few things as books you don't count -- you don't count 'em unless they are a minimum number of pages, for example..... 

 

AND

 

A question for CMaria, BG & the Mods.... -- I'm realizing we are on page 38... if we happen to get to 50 pages on this thread (which won't be hard to do if a bunch of people drop in with pages), any way we can beg dUSt for a little indulgence to keep this one thread in one thread rather than requiring a split?  If a bunch of people drop in to drop in books, it could go slightly over 50 pages... but it will be ending within the next week or 2 after the end of the month totals.  But as always, we'll abide by your decision... but we have SO MANY books now, it takes 4 posts just to document results!!!!   That's amazing....

Thank you, Cartermia, will include those in the final count....

 

Any more?   Don't slack off now... ;)

BTW... connecting this with another thread....

 

there's a really interesting book on St. Francis called The Perfect Joy of St. Francis by Felix Timmermans that I think you would enjoy....

 

and you might like Rumer Godden's books on the Benedictine nuns and the Dominican Sisters of Bethany:

 

In This House of Brede (Benedictines), Five For Sorrow, Ten For Joy (Dominican Sisters of Bethany)
