Destroy All Planets

It's a tradition or an old charter or something.

Hmmm... by Vulch (4.00 / 1) #5 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 09:53:24 AM EST

SELECT COUNT( * ) FROM `whenread` WHERE `when` > '2007-12-31 23:59:59'

103

Or 139 from the start of October. I'm definitely slowing down, though this year I can pin part of the blame on Platos Dialogues, Hobbes Leviathan and Lockes Two Treatises on Government which took a couple of weeks apiece.

Jesus Christ by jayhawk88 (4.00 / 2) #6 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 10:30:46 AM EST

Way to make me feel like a slack jawed, mouth-breathing, intellectual moron in 2200 words or less. And here I thought I did pretty good getting through American Gods during a trip to Orlando for a week.

They're mostly pretty lightweight.

: I have to say, by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #13 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 01:14:04 PM EST

This year's list felt a bit less intimidating than last year's.
That said, it may be that I've read a fair few books this week.

Do you know if you can get shelfari to spit out books for arbitrary date ranges?

I don't think so by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #8 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 11:48:26 AM EST

You can export a database file, which might or might not have useful date fields.

hmmm by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #10 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 11:57:41 AM EST

I started tracking right about the time you did this last year, but I've put some other stuff in there too.

Makes a note of this sort of thing for if/when I get my booklog thing in a state that others can use it...

I need to take a very deep breath and convert the database to the improved structure I came up with, and make it lots prettier. I'm about over the awesomeness of being able to log books by pointing a webcam at the ISBN barcode on the back so it's time for the next step.

Do you own all of these? by Dr H0ffm4n (4.00 / 1) #11 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 12:13:11 PM EST

: No by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #14 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 07:42:19 PM EST

At least half were borrowed, mostly from libraries.

Fuck of a lot more than I've read by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #15 Tue Sep 30, 2008 at 11:43:18 PM EST

Though I'm doing better now I've cut down on telly. Do you ever watch telly?

It's political correctness gone mad!

: Sometimes by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #16 Wed Oct 01, 2008 at 08:14:29 AM EST

I usually put on Dave or something when I'm having my tea. I'm not following any series' at the moment, buy I think Primeval's about to start again, or possibly has already...

Are you one individual only? by Tonatiuh (4.00 / 1) #17 Fri Oct 03, 2008 at 07:51:31 PM EST

Or are you a club, a battalion or any other human association?
