Been cheating in my goal to reach 100 books read in 2011, I downloaded and read Thomas Paine's book (its really a book not a pamphlet) Common Sense. Read that one in one day so I cheated a little bit. If I am going to read 100 books in 2011 that means 8.3 books a month (100/12), 2.08 per week (8.3/4), so thus far I should have read 8.3*4= 33.2 for January through April and 2.08*3= 6.24 for the three weeks in May, 33.2+6.24= 39.44. I should be approximatly half way through the 39th book to be on track and I am up to 34, so I am 39.44-34 = 5.44 books behind, in other words I am five and one quater books behind.
