Quotes:
“…Great men were often eccentric, unpredictable, and enigmatic, and just
because we did not understand the path they chose, we should not doubt their
vision.”
“ ‘Don’t you
worry about syphilis?’
‘Syphilis is a
wives’ tale.’
‘It is not.
You get a chancre on your manhood, then later you go mad, your limbs drop off,
and you die. Manet died of syphilis.’
‘Nonsense.
Syphilis is a myth. It’s Greek, I think—everyone has head of the myth of
syphilis.’
‘That’s the
myth of Sisyphus. He spends his whole
life pushing a large stone up a hill.’
‘With his
penis? No wonder her has a chancre on it!’ “

1 more book read than in May 2011.
89 more pages read.
3 more pages per day.
1.1 more days to read a book.
The stats between this year and last year were very close! This May I couldn't finish The Pillow Book, and last may I couldn't finish The Once & Future King. For those two books I didn't count the days it took to read them or count them as a finished book, but I did add the pages from each to my total pages read (not that anyone but me cares about how I count this stuff).
