Some statistic updates

I alluded before to updating the spreadsheet for the books that I've read against the 1001 list, and I think at this point the spreadsheet is pretty accurate.  At this point I've read 70 of the 1294 books, or 5.4%.  By the end of 2012 I'd like to get above 10%, so I've got another 60 to read before then.  I don't read exclusively from the list, so that would be over 1 per week which should be possible.  

I also have several other lists in the spreadsheet which I hope to make progress on.  The Guardian 1000 which I've also read 5.4% of the list, Book Crossing's top 100 novels, along with lists from the BBC, Time, EW, and Modern Library.  I'm going to try and read the books that appear on multiple lists first to make the most progress.  

I've also been trying to finish off the last couple books from authors that I enjoy reading, and working my way through my daughter's Reading Olympics book list.  I like to read several different books at once, depending on my mood, so there is always something to read.
