Summer reading

Over the past five months I’ve purchased a number of books from Amazon’s used book store. Physical books, oddly enough — despite having a nook, I can’t seem to shake my love of physical books. The nook is still used—I have more than a thousand ebooks on various hard drives—but I still have a fetish for physical books.

In total, I’ve added more than nineteen thousand pages of content. With a twelve week summer, that translates to about fifteen hundred pages a week — or two hundred something a day. The books that I’ve acquired:

1. the borgias and their enemies: 1431-1519
