AnneLine Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 Well... you can change that, Credo.... you still have about 5 weeks! :) And I have been bad about updating the stats, but will try to do that within next 24 hours or so....
corban711 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 The Practice of the Presence of God --Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection 110pgs. The edition I have has several more appendices but not all of them were of interest to me. I did read his writings, letters, and conversations...but stopped after that. The 110pgs I listed are the actual pages I read and not the length of the book. Do I have to finish all those other appendices to get credit even though I never intended to read them and aren't a part of Brother Lawrence's text?

tigger60 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 well I did have fun on vacation. And while on vacation I did finish "Anam Cara" by John O'Donohue. It was 231 pages.
AnneLine Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Welcome back, Tigger! OK guys, I fell off the posting wagon. I've been reading, but not posting. I'll add up the book count later today... and then we can head to the end of the book reading frenzy -- 29 days left!!!!! :bible: :bible: :bible: Tigger, you can use the "Control" and spin the mouse to get your print size correct if it is stuck! ;) Edited September 2, 2014 by AnneLine
AnneLine Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Almost done with the initial page count -- very impressive, everyone!!! Have to finish processing it for Phatmass (needs some reformatting) so hope to have it up by tomorrow.... Corban711 - sorry I didn't answer before. You are free to just read the relevant text of Bro Lawrence (one of my favorites, BTW); I have put down 110 pages, but I would even give you credit for the full book if you wish. Unless someone tells me differently if you don't give me a page count, I locate the book on Amazon and grab the first copy of the book if there is more than one edition, and take that as the page count. Very scientific. ;) LWS... As far as Books of the Bible, unless you give me a specific page count, you get the one in my Bible. :bible: Partial pages count as a full page. :) (I'd be looking up books like a reference librarian if we hadn't set these rules last summer.... well, actually I DO look them up, and I am grateful when you give me pages. PoorlyCC: Don't be embarrassed about the Star Wars Books - last year we had lots of people (including me!) reading Star Trek Novels (I love them!) and not a few childrens' classics... right CarterMia?????
AnneLine Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Now this is subject to adjustment -- because I have to be sure all the excel squares are talking to each other properly.... (they lie like RUGS if I let them!) BUT Here's the rough count: TOTAL READERS: ................... 20 Documented Books Read: ........ 123 Books in Progress: .................... 80 Pages read: .............................. 38,834 It will be interesting to see who is in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place in numbers of books and numbers of pages... DO YOU THINK... if we PUSH it... we could get to 50,000 pages and 150 books by the end of September????? wanna try ???? Now I am going to go get some sleep!!!! Edited September 3, 2014 by AnneLine
Not The Philosopher Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (re-read) - 351 pages The Farthest Shore, by Ursula K. Le Guin - 296 pages
cartermia Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I doubt I am in the top three, not enough time to read! But I do have three books to add! Why Pro-life by Randy Alcorn -- 172 pages Courageous by Kristan Hawkins -- 176 pages Students-for-Life Guidebook -- around 200 (couldn't find a page count on amazon and I am to lazy to go get the book upstairs) Did I already put Oedipus Rex? And I had to reread 13 reasons why for school so if you could count me twice for that please.
AnneLine Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 I has not forgotten you. I have been on vacation, and I have been READING!!!! :) (But I had no internet access....)

AnneLine Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, everyone. Obviously dUSt has redecorated. :/ Little hard to read but we can do this. Had hoped to get the count up before today, but Phatmass or whatever this is was down yesterday, and I lost my window. I have a big thing that has to be done before Friday for my Secular Order. Hoping now for Saturday.... Keep on reading!!!!

Richardson (25 pages) "St Joseph's Foot Deformity in Italian Renaissance Art", by W. R. Albury and G. M.

AnneLine Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Dear friends, I'm just checking in. On paper we have about 1 more week to go (even though technically it is Autumn (or spring for those of you in the southern hemisphere!!!!) I'd hoped to update this before now... but I'm kinda stuck with life these days. As I think most of you know, I'm staying with my Mother-in-Law's family while she is dying. (Yes, I know I keep saying that... but so the hospice people! She's got a will of iron, and she is simply not letting go!) But It will probably happen at some point this week... and then there will be the funeral services, etc. I'm here for as long as it takes, and I'm happy to do this for her and for our family... but my internet access is really minimal, and I don't know if I can work on this for a few weeks. You can keep posting books, and I'll get it done when I can do it. We can also just extend it thru October if desired... and see if we can get it moving again... or we an just write what books we have been reading since last update and I'll do a final count as soon as I can.... you guys let me know what you want. But I probably can't work on it for a week or 2 to be honest with you.... Thanks for understanding! Let me know what you want!!!! :bible: :heart: :bible: :heart: :bible: Edited September 24, 2014 by AnneLine

Spem in alium Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 FINALLY I can add: Jesus: a pilgrimage, by Fr James Martin, SJ. 544 pages and hands-down one of the most brilliant books I've ever read. As for the thread, totally happy for it to continue through Oct. :) Praying, AL. :heart:
Ancilla Domini Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Continuing through October sounds great, AL! :)
AnneLine Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) OK, done, we will continue the 'summer/fall' book reading thing thru October 31, 2014! (If my MIL "C" is still with us by then.... yowie! It just won't be possible! Prayers gratefully appreciated for her gentle passage into Eternal Life...) And I will add the following books I have read over the last few weeks to our totals: Life in the Coal House, the Griffiths Family 96 pages -- but I read it 3 times! =96 pages X 3 = 288 pages Line of Fire, Stephen White, 557 pages Welcome to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites, Fr. Aloysius Deeney, OCD (116 pages) Lectio Divina and the Practice of Teresian Prayer Fr. Sam Anthony MOrello, OCD (29 Pages) 5 for Sorrow, 10 for Joy, Rumer Godden, (368 pages) And as far as books in progress... Still working-away on the Story of a Soul. Almost done.... And.. almost thru Vol 1 of the Collected Letters of St. Teresa (704 pages) and Vol 2 of the Collected Letters (661 pages) AAAAGGGHHH!!!! the things I have to read in order to teach my Secular Order classes!!!!!!! ... and for a little light reading, James Michener's Space!
