The end is drawing nigh. I've got approximately 6 books left to read as well as about 11 essays; however, I've got an inch of essays on my desk with notes on them that I need to follow-up on, so I may be adding a few more items to the list. Nevertheless, I can see the light at the end of the reading tunnel.

I doubt I'll finish by the end of September exactly. Maybe by the end of the week that starts on Monday, September 28 -- that is, by the week ending Sunday, October 3...we'll see. Stay tuned.

I haven't posted this week because I've been waiting to process a bunch of notes from the stack of books and articles on my desk, but I doubt I will get to the stack today...maybe tomorrow (too many unexpected duties have cropped up this week to get to paperwork). Will I finish reading by the end of September, or even by the end of the week that begins Monday, September 28? It's possible, but I'm not certain. Stay tuned.

I hope to, at minimum, finish in early October, and then perhaps be done by the end of October with an detailed outline, so that I can perhaps start writing in November.

14 books in 5 weeks = 3.5 books/week.

However, one of those 14 books is Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, which is massive, but also directly addresses many topics I'm interested in. His book may mean I do not finish my reading until the end of October, but that will allow time for all my interlibrary loan requests to arrive. I'm currently waiting on 8 books to arrive in addition to 26 chapters/articles.
