17 books in 5 weeks = 3.4 books/week.

Now that the finish line of my year-long, mostly non-fiction reading marathon is almost in sight, it might be fun to actually read some fiction for fun on the weekends for a change, once I start writing on weekends.

16 books in 6 weeks = 2.67 books/week. The end (of reading) is in sight!

25 books in 7 weeks = 3.57 books/week. I need some used books to ship faster!

26 books in 8 weeks = 3.25 books/week. I'm feeling increasingly good about finishing the reading for my dissertation by the end of September. It's time to stop reading and start writing a book!

In light of my urge to start writing sooner rather than later, I've done some re-evaluating of my "to read" list, and I've thinned the books down to 32. Thus, if I try to finish reading by the end of October, I need to read 2.67 books/week. Or, if I try to finish by the end of September, I'll need to read 4 books/week.
