THE TALLY: SEPTEMBER 2014

Dear Son,
At the end of each month, I’ll list the books we addressed for that month.  So, for the first month of this project, September 2014, we noted 413 books (assuming we currently have about half of the books in The Loeb Classical Library series).  If 7,000 is the estimate for the number of books in the library, that means we only have 6,587 more books to go.  I guess we’ll be reading for a while …  Meanwhile, here is September 2014’s List noted under each post's title:
