At the end of each month, I list the books we addressed for that month. For the second month of this project, October 2014, we noted 156 books. So, so far we've noted 569 titles. If 7,000 is the estimate for the number of books in the library, that means we only have 6,431 books to go! We'll be reading for a long time! Which is okay as, Son, that's a sort of Heaven in itself. Here is October's List noted under each post's title:
