According to the higi station down the road, my BMI has gone down by half a kg/m2 over the year. Wiki says units are usually omitted informally, but I don't care. (I'm closer to the edge of underweight, but still OK.)

Higi means origins in a language based in Chad, according to the websiteAccording to Goodreads, I am two books ahead of schedule,

Вы читали "Обломов" Гончарова? Наверное, в переводе на английском языке. Я не знал, что Гончарова переводят на английский язык. Наверное, для западного читателя, это непонятное произведение.

Have you read Oblomov Goncharov? Probably translated in English. I didn't know Goncharov translated into English. Probably, for the Western reader, this is a hard work.

Вы читаете по-русски?

Yes, I read Russian. A little. Tolstoy and Pasternak.

Эта слепок переводить об Степан Пеарл, даже, потому что я - ленивая.
This is a copy translated by Stephen Pearl, though, because I am lazy.

Wow 300 books!!! What an amazing number, almost a book every day :) Good luck in your goals.

I'm warming up for next year the full Monty. I didn't think I could do 365 books a year this year due to laziness.

Thank you orz

Now that I spend so much time at the elementary school library, I have updated my expected goal to 380 books. I keep upping it every time GR says I am 10 books ahead of schedule. It says I am 5 books ahead for 380 right now.

I don't want to disappoint myself, so I am only tentatively estimating that...

(I have read 313 so far, but so many of those are children's books with only a few words a page, so it isn't as impressive as the Tolstoy or Dickens stuff. As far as Tolstoy goes, I have been struggling through a Nikolai Tolstoy UK-based story that's so much like what I used to read all the time, but it's historical fiction like with Merlin and I can only barely remember anything so that is going slowlyI think it'd be cool to say I am going to read something like 500 books now that 365 is almost guaranteed :D (True, even in elementary school I've read so extensively

[arrowwhiskers]

I understand--I read only a fraction of that amount and I still don't remember much of it haha xD

500 is surely a lofty goal!! Oh my goodness. Though I suppose it is always better to have lofty goals than no goals at all. I suspect at your current rate you will soon run out of children's books at the library! Hehe :)
