My November Total: 2177 pages
GROUP TOTAL: 2,177 PAGES
I made all my goals this year: 121 of 120 books, 1235 pages over my page goal of 32,000; I read 19 not in English, but would have made the 20 if Open Library weren't having server issues on New Year's Eve, and I also read over 500 pages of a long one I'm working on, so I'm considering that as met also. (9 French, 8 German, and 2 Spanish.) I read 18 novels by the 2020 Neustadt Prize Winner Ismail Kadare of Albania -- a new favorite author -- 11 by Pakistani/British writer Tariq Ali, and 8 by the 2019 Nobel Prize Winner Peter Handke (the 8 in German, and his writing is sehr difficult!). The others were a more diverse mix than usual, mainly because my work@home made me blog about genres I never read.I'm going to try upping my 2021 goals to 132, 24 nE, and 35000 pages. Last time I tried that was a total failure, but I will retire on May 1 so should have lots more time to read this year.
