If you’ve scanned The Age‘s ‘M Magazine’ today, you might have seen the ‘My Life as a Blog’ feature by the lovely Natalie Craig. Natalie got in touch with me to chat about 3000 BOOKS. You can read the article here; please enjoy all the ellipses, brought to you by my verbal diarrhea.
I try to read 50 new books a year, and this blog records my attempts to get a handle on them. Literary grandstanding or the product of an untidy mind? No one knows.
To the numbers: when I started this blog I was 23 years old. The life expectancy for an Australian female is 83 years. 60 reading years left x 50 books = 3000 books.
Why yes, it is very literal. Some might also say it is numerical.
Please note that as of May 25, 2011, books I receive through publicity channels are denoted by an asterisk.
