3000 BOOKS: Just ignore the typo...

Friday, July 3, 2009

...and look at the cute penguin. Have a good weekend!

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? Nobody knows except you, dear reader.

I'm an editor and writer, freelance and otherwise, living in Melbourne, Australia. I like ice cream, punctuation and feminism. Also, I love books, obvs. Call me!

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.

Melbourne, you can also hear me on the radio: Textual Fantasies, 1-2pm Saturdays on SYN 90.7.
