85 books to go and 39 weeks = 2.18 books/week.

I've moved some books to my amazon wish list in recognition that -- although these books are important and I plan to read them eventually -- they are not vital enough to my dissertation for me to commit to reading them in 2009.  I've also decided to not count some books in my "to read" list since I now know that I will likely just read the introduction or conclusion or selected chapters.  

So, reversing the trend of the total increasing each week -- or staying the same -- the last two weeks, the total has dropped around ten books/week.  I doubt that trend will continue, but those two precipitous drops do make me have more hope in my prospects of finishing the reading for my dissertation this calendar year: the goal this weekly blog is tracking.
