This year´s reading has been nothing short of extraordinary. Taking into account that started on June 7, that´s only 32 days ago, my total for the year sits comfortably at 14,617 registered pages, giving quite a big head start on my reading schedule, which right now is 51 days ahead. This breaks any of the records from previous years. I will not get ahead of myself, but with the current pace, the projections for the year’s total sit at 167,639 pages, a monstrous number, that quite honestly will be almost impossible to achieve, but I’m fairly certain that at least the 70,000-page mark will appear for the first time.
Even more important than that is the fact that I’m only 2,822 pages away from achieving the first half of my project, which would be reaching 500,000 total pages. The projection for the current date to do so is currently August 8, precisely a month from today. But with still the same amount left ahead of me, this becomes a game of time, and any little room gained is a step closer to the ultimate goal.
The plan is to reach that first milestone by next Sunday, giving me 7 days of intense reading, and a tight schedule of around 7 daily hours of reading, including the first mountain book of the year, Jerusalem by Alan Moore, with its 1,255 pages and intricate plot has proven to be quite the challenge. I’ll throw, as per usual, a healthy amount of graphic novels, and hopefully, when the dust clears, the 500,00-page milestone would have been conquered.
Off to read.
