Scott’s comments from the Read a Classic Challenge group.

And thanks to you, John, for setting up the Goodreads page. Three of our top five readers were from Goodreads this year, and I'd guess that somewhere between 30-40% of the volume of books logged came from Goodreads as well.

We're working on those themes this weekend and hope to have them out on Sunday at some point. Stay tuned.

You guys have been logging like crazy. We're now up to 639 books and 178,000 pages. Keep it up--4 days to go.

I just logged all of the books above--too many to report individually. Thanks for all your effort and keep them coming. We have about 20 days left.
