Birth Year Readings III
Saturday September 28, 2013 was my birthday.
Since my 2011 birthday I track, each birth year what I’ve been reading. Only comic books, comic book trades and books. If I tossed in blogs, magazines and cereal boxes this would be a horribly long and boring blog post.
So recently I wrapped Season 2 and now, sans drum roll here are the results…
Season 2: September 28, 2012 to September 27, 2013 I read:
466 comics(monthlys, annuals and one shots)
43 books (still mostly non-fiction but I’ve been rediscovering the novel)
100 comic book trades
And for fun…
Season 1: September 28, 2011 to September 27, 2012 I read:
486 comic books (monthlys and one shots)
35 books (non-fiction mostly)
99 comic book trades (dagnabbit, had I known I was so close I’d have pushed for 1 more)
Whew. Sad thing is, though that may seem like a lot of reading I am not even denting all that’s been written and all that’s been published. Combined this reading would barely stock a small book store. Madness.
Still undaunted I read on! Well, at least until Season 3 concludes on Sunday September 28, 2014.
