75 books in 32 weeks = 2.34 books/week.  The total number of books is up somewhat markedly from the last few weeks.  In fact, I'm back where I was in late April as far as the total number of "books to read" is concerned -- which means I have the same number to read as I did then with a one month less time in which to do the reading).  However, I feel good about the current status. The books I'm reading -- as well as the ones I have recently added -- are excellent and seem important.  I slowed down a bit last week, but now feel like I'm getting back in the groove.  The prospect of reading approximately three books a weeks feels manageable at the moment.

67 books in 33 weeks = 2.03 books/week, which is disappointly back over the 2.0 books/week threshold.   However, I'm in the midst of reading some particularly lengthy, though also helpful, books; so in a week or two I will hopefully be back below the 2.0 barrier.   

Being back over the 2.0 point has also prompted me to move some books into the "read if I have time" category -- because as 2009 is almost halfway over, I do not want to set myself up to have an unrealistic crunch at the end of the year.

34 weeks to go and 66 books = 1.94 books/week.  I'm up slightly from last week, but still under the 2 books/week threshold.  I hope to get the ratio down by this time next week.  I'd love to get below the 1 book/week level, but, for now, I'm grateful to still be under 2.0.
