3. Eats, Shoots & Leaves - Lynne Truss [27 : 811/1518]

I started this book on the plane to Las Vegas, mostly because I finished my other book and couldn't easily get to my next one. I did want to read it, because it sounded like an interesting presentation of a topic I'd normally avoid. Will my punctuation improve as a result of reading it? Probably not, but I'm sure a few things will stick with me. Anyway, it's a fun book, but mostly directed to folks are true sticklers. Unfortunately, it's non-fiction so doesn't count in my goal for the year.

You have a *fiction* quota for the year? how much?

Re: quota?

[mikekn]

Not so much a quota as a goal. I've got 707 books in my house that I've not read yet (all fiction) and I want to get that number down to around 680 (where it was a year ago). So I need to read more and buy less this year (or read a lot more).

Why not count the non-fiction towards your goal? They're taking up space too. :-)

You know, I was thinking about it and I think I just want to _know_ how many books I read in a year.

[mikekn]

Yeah, but there aren't in the database, only the fiction is. If I started to count the non-fiction, I'd have to keep track of it all :)

Slacker.

Yeah, I laughed so hard at this book that my stomach hurt. Incidentally, it does in fact say "GEEK" across my forehead.

[mikekn]

Yeah, but you're our sort of geek :)
