I feel like I owe a progress report, but it's seriously depressing. I have read six books so far this year (on the list, anyway). I've picked up a bit in February compared to January, but considering how bad January was it's a) not saying much and b) not enough to counter the effects. I've read 644 on the list so far. I desperately want to be at 700. I think that would help me psychologically.
That said, I'm super excited because: today I started a third list document to help me on my quest! This is huge, y'all. For years, years now I've been using two lists. One keeps track of all the books and I bold the ones I've read. I use that to help when I'm searching for books. The other is my running list of all the books that I've read. I use that when I want a quick reference for how far I'm at. It's super important to track what I've read, because honestly, at this point there are many I don't remember.
So, what's the purpose of this new list? To keep track of the books that DCPL does not have in their system. At first, tracking that didn't really matter much, since there were so many books to read I could just move along. However, as we get closer to the end of the project I won't be able to do that as much. Starting to find these books will save a lot of pain in the near future. Whenever I buy a book, usually for a trip, I should be buying books that I can't get at the library. This new list will make that easier.
I swear, one day this project will be all about me trying desperately to find a copy of Adjunct: An Undigest for like, years and years.
