Congratulations on an epic achievement. You're a solid 70 books and 20,000 pages ahead of me... do you think you could take a month off next year so I at least have a fighting chance ;)

Is this a record year for you or par for the course?

Why, thank you! :-) This is indeed a record. I normally read about 150 books a year. In fact I did take a month off in 2007, but it was so depressing that I've vowed never to repeat the experience.

Rather, would *you* consider taking a month off so I can catch up to some of your titles? :-D
