Posts from ‘October, 2007’

As of 12th Oct 2007, I have read 84 books and 26,402 pages this year.
Yup, I finally got the page properly updated. In terms of actual pages I have surpassed the goal (25,000 pages or 100 books) of the 100 books club. I’m not there on the number of books but suspect I [...]

Today is a tough day.  I am very glad it is nearly over!
