I still haven't read that book. It's the SF Masterwork edition of Man Plus by Frederik Pohl, which I wanted for 1976 in my chronological SF challenge, but I couldn't start it until I'd read my 1975 book, The Wind's Twelve Quarters by Ursula K Le Guin, which was a collection of (I think) 17 shorts, and since I'm also reading one short story a day, it was pretty much always going to take me about 17 days for that one.
I was due to be reading Man Plus now (well, I'd probably have finished it, since the one I started instead is quite a bit longer) but ended up picking something else, partly by accident.
It was a stupid thing to worry about, to be honest. It was only after the fact that I noticed that I (a) had not read more books than I'd gained every month but (b) had read a greater value of books than I'd bought each month. It was stupid to then decide to make target out of (b).
I did read more than £8.99 in April, but I'd spent more by then and still fell short.
