Started on June 4th, 2015.

Prior to that I stampeded through all nine of the Fleet of Worlds and Ringworld books in a bit under 3 weeks. The amount of reading time I get in a day varies. If I have all the time I want... I can chunk through a 450~500 page book in a single sitting, like I did with each of Forstchen's Lost Regiment series. Sit down Friday evening, close the back cover and hello Saturday sunrise.
Last time I tried to binge-read the Foreigner series, I think I stalled somewhere around book six. I love Cherryh, and that particular series (though I like Chanur and Cyteen better), there's just a certain threshold where I get tired of the same characters.

Next time around, I will read one or two, and take a break, read some light non-fic or something, then do the next one or two.

I think I am three books behind; but I am finding plenty to read without paying for new contemporary novels.

Still reading Punk Rock: An Oral History... this is more Dngrswife's read than mine, so it's a bit of a slog for me.
