TOTAL: 36 Well, that's better than the predicted 6 but not as good as I would have hoped! There were quite a few of these that I had started but not finished so I didn't count them.
P.S. I have a couple of good posts in the works. All this moving has been keeping me busy! Can't wait to post pics of our new place!

That's pretty good, I've only got 28 of those with like 10 started and not finished...yikes! Exciting about your move!
Since I consider myself almost "Post-literate" and I hardly ever read, I was surprised to come up with 11.
I'd also add:
Anne Ryn's "Atlas Shrugged"
Steven Hawking's, "A Brief History of Time"
