Milestone: I\u2019m now down to 250 unread trade paperbacks and hardcovers.<\/p>\r\n
Which means I\u2019ve reduced that number by 100 since my Facebook progress post almost exactly a year ago, when it was at 350. And during that time, I added about 5 books to the list (a couple that I had neglected to add before, a couple of new ones\u2014almost all of the few books that I buy these days are ebooks, but every now and then I buy a paper book or two), so I read about 105 from the unread list this past year.<\/p>\r\n
All of which means that I\u2019m still on track to finish this phase of the unread-books project in mid- to late-2025.<\/p>\r\n
(As always, I\u2019m skimming a lot of these, and giving up on some of them entirely after the first couple chapters.)<\/p>\r\n
After I finish with these, I\u2019ll move on to the unread ebooks.<\/p>\r\n
(I also read maybe 15 other books this year\u2014some Hugo nominees, a mass-market paperback or two, an ebook or two. But those aren\u2019t included in the numbers above. So the total count of books that I got through this calendar year (so far) is about 120.)<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19619"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19621,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19619\/revisions\/19621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
