Bout of Books - Update The Second

Second Update


THURSDAY:
It was a dreary day that would have been perfect for staying home and reading but one must make a living.  It was especially good afternoon to sink into and finish The Lewis Man which is shrouded in dreary weather itself:0). 

Time Spent Reading (including listening): 3 hours
Books Read:  5
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe: X pages
The Lewis Man by Peter May: 68 pages
Likelihood of Lucy by Jenny Holiday: 9%
Turn Coat (#10 in Harry Dresden Series) by Jim Butcher: 30 minutes
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry: 30 minutes
Books Finished: 1
The Lewis Man by Peter May

FRIDAY:
Took the afternoon off from work and spent about 1.5 hours sitting at the vet's office so got in lots of reading there.  Finished two more books which is great, didn't read a single page of Robin Crusoe which is bad.

Time Spent Reading (including listening): 4.5 hours
Books Read:  5
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe: 0 pages :(

Likelihood of Lucy by Jenny Holiday: 27%
Turn Coat by Jim Butcher: 50 minutes

I'm making some progress on all my goals, except Robinson Crusoe, with two days left.  Bring on the weekend!

Make the dog a golden retriever and not nearly so polite and this is about right.
