AnneLine Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks for the input, LWS & Amppax (and Dr. B as well)... I will withdraw LOTH from my calculations (neither counting book nor pages). I will, however, continue to pray it... and remember all your intentions. ;) Amppax, I looked up Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace on Amazon, and it give the hardcover as 176 pages; I'm comfortable with that and have added it to your totals. Judging from the blurb on Amazon, it sounds like an interesting book! Will post updated totals in the morning in case anyone else checks overnight. If you don't know the page numbers, make a guess or check what the page count is on Amazon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastasia13 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but how many can get through to you. --Mortimer Adler Wisdom.

BG45 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I just saw this thread, so I understand if mine so far don't count: Matter by Iain M.

Dr. Bombay Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Are you being attentive now? No, appendices do not need to be read. What about Forwards? Introductions? Epilogues? Afterwords? I think we should cut to the chase. Chapters need not be read if they are not titled "Chapter." If they are just numbers they can be skipped but the reader gets credit nonetheless. What say you?

Dr. Bombay Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Broskhoomeh! (Ancient Armenian for "Let us be attentive.") You speak ancient Armenian? Woooooowwwwww! They tried to teach me Greek one year. It was a miserable (almost) failure. The only thing I got out of the class was I can sing the Greek alphabet to the modern alphabet song and I can pronounce Greek. I have no idea what I'm saying but I can sure pronounce it. I'd like to think this is a useful skill, but I haven't found a use for it yet. Meh.

AnneLine Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Have I told you all how much I love you!!!!! (you all make me laugh!!! in a good way!) This is so much fun!!!!! I finished the Arm of the Starfish by Madeleine L'Engle yesterday.... It's a YA novel, well done, kinda sad, makes one think... I've been swamped with work yesterday & today, but will try to update books and counts by about midnight pacific time.... so most of you will find this tomorrow. If you want to get more stuff in for today's counts, try to get it in within the next 5 hours, OK? And at some point tonight...WELCOME HOME BYZ!!!!

Anastasia13 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I cry foul on LOTH! That's a prayer book, not a book that one reads cover to cover! Unless I get credit for my Maryknoll Missal and Holy Ghost Prayer Book too. Plus, Popular Catholic Novenas and those kind folks at St. Jude's have sent me at least two dozen St. Jude prayer books over the years. I should get credit for those as well! Prayer books don't count? I just got a couple of those. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to finish the alphabet though. You can at least sound smart at Bible studies when you pull out your concordance. Book: Quick Guide to Coding an Billing Compliance for Medical Practices.

AnneLine Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Good evening everyone!!! Welcome home, Byz!!!! I should think that you could count those sections of the Phylokalia as separate books.. or as a 4 giant books and give us the page numbers.... BG, welcome!!!! The rules Byz established are simple -- any books you started during the summer period and finished during the contest are fair game! We arbitrate disputes by taking people out to the village green and pelting them with popcorn. No mods need work... we want 'em reading! L&T I wasn't sure if 'Wisdom' was another book... or if it was simply honoring truth spoken. I've given you book credit for the book of the Bible.... ;) Well, I've started reading Christy by Catherine Marshall... along with continuing on with Out of the Silent Planet. I still think we could let people count small prayer books. Why not? Byz? I've given up on the LOTH...counting it, but not praying it. ;) On the number of books read, Cartermia can be caught. Give her a run for the number of books!!!! As far as the total page number count below... where is everyone? AnneLine definitely can be caught and surpassed!!!! I would be willing to bet some of you are near or ahead of her if you were providing page counts, and it will make our combined page totals look super-impressive if we can count 'em up! Just make a quick guess (or look 'em up on Amazon if you wish....). I'm willing to look 'em up on Amazon if you'll trust me! Just tell me if it was paper or hardbound..... As of 9pm Pacific Time on 6/30/2012 here are the current totals.
