Series Reading Score … Revision
This is what my series completion score looked like after my marathon reading last month.
Series Completion Score: (as of 30th Apr 2012)
Three Investigators 33 out of 63
Sherlock Holmes 60 out of 60
Famous Five 05 out of 21
Best of Satyajit Ray 10 out of 21
Total 108 out of 165
With the completion of Sherlock Holmes, I will remove it from monthly count and replace it with another set of Sherlock Holmes Stories (Non-Conan) – 'Exploits of Sherlock Holmes' containing 12 and '' containing 33 short stories – 45 stories in total. Both these sets are diverse in their styles, the 'Exploits', co-authored by Conan's youngest son, attempts to preserve the essence of the original Conan while the 'Misadventures' are a hilarious take on Sherlock'ian adventures.
I also realized that I had clubbed the original Three Investigators series along with the Crime Busters series (extended 3I) and Fan Fiction 3I series. So I am separating the two and retaining the count on only the Original 3I series of 43 titles while the other part consisting of the extended series and fan creations are being excluded for now; to be picked up next year.
Last
month I also realized that my motivation to continue with the Famous Five
series was a bit low. Although I have indeed enjoyed reading the stories; it is
still a bit childish. So I am not sure if I will survive the series. I might read
a few more but I don’t think I would be reading it regularly. So I am dropping it
from the series count.
The exclusion is also because I expect my reading material to have some new 'academic' kind of additions. Besides my regular reading of fiction, I would also be reading academic non-fiction stuff in the second half of the year.
So with the exclusions and inclusions, the new series count looks like this ...
Series Completion Score: (as of 1st May 2012)
The Three Investigators 33 out of 43
Best of Satyajit Ray 10 out of 21
Sherlock: Exploits 00 out of 12
Sherlock: Misadventures 00 out of 33
