I have read 109 books since September 12th, 2005. I usually brag about it to complete strangers (old people) to promote books. The conversations usually turn out to how I read more than you. Actually, the conversations don't turn out too well...yeah, there are alot of people on the internet that 'hates' to read, so promoting books confirms the fact that I'm the pompous one...
Even though some people claim to be smart after they explain how much they
don't read and shows how they do not know how to spell 'congratulations'. At least make the effort! You'd be amazed at how many versions I've come across when it comes to shortening the word 'congratulations'.
Anyways...I have discovered that if I went with my original idea when I started counting how many books I read, that maybe I should read one book a day to distract myself from future bragging. Which you can see, did not work and I have in fact, turned into a braggart. But
if I did read one book a day, which is sometimes impossible; I would have read 500 books more than what is on the list now. I would have had five hundred more reasons, for you to crawl under the coffee table and drown yourself in movies.
So basically, my new motivation is to keep it at an even 500. Go me, this won't last a day!
