For the past six months, I've been keeping a book log, and I'm now ready
to post it. As the subject line indicates, it covers an entire year, and
during the year in question I was often under-employed, so that's a *lot*
of books. As many of you know, I also tend to write long. So...

Tuesday or Thursday, I'll be posting eleven posts, most of which are
around 800 lines long.

People with strong feelings about such posts should take note. They
will all be followups to this post or to each other. They will all
have subject lines that begin "A Year's Reading", like this post (but
with different stuff after the colon). Adjust your killfiles or other
tools accordingly.

Heh. I saw the heading and said to myself: 19 lines isn't THAT long
of a post!

It depends on how L O N G the lines are (the posts of a poster in a
different newsgroup always show up as 1 line in my subject window,
but the posts could be over 100 lines).
