Apparently I read 24 books after completing my half cannon. And I'm almost done with another. And have a short one lined up for right after this. So odds are, by the end of this CBR, I will have actually READ the required 52 books for a full Cannon. Now, they don't all count, since I didn't review them, and that's the name of the game here. Read AND review. But still. Looking over my Goodreads and thinking about what I've read or listened to on my commute, I'm pretty stoked to have consumed that much literature! The only book I feel was a total waste of time was The Marriage Plot, which really isn't a bad ratio of success to failure. I didn't LOVE everything else, but Marriage Plot is the only one I gave up after the qualifying halfway point, but before the end. I got about 75% of the way through it and was interrupted by Hurricane Sandy...and stayed interrupted. I just don't give a rat's ass how it ends. So that's that.
I may go so far as to actually do the full cannon next year, looking at this. Bonus is that I can re-read anything from my current list of 52 that I didn't review and have it count next go (like with the Kingkiller Chronicles, which I plan to re-read before the new volume comes out in March). I really do love this whole endeavor. It's done a lovely job of encouraging me to get back into the habit of reading regularly, and that pleases me greatly.
