I took stock of all of my Appendix N reading to date, which entailed a mix of staring off into space, combing my shelves, and blowing the dust off my long-dormant Goodreads account.
Of the 29 authors in Appendix N (well, 28 plus an editor), I have:
- Completed the listed reading for six of them
- Read at least one book from another five authors
- Read a total of 45 books (34 listed, 11 for “et al” entries, and one straggler)
I made it further than I thought back in 2013!
And as of this evening, I finished Fredric Brown’s excellent Rogue in Space — one author closer to an initial pass. Brown is one of several authors I likely wouldn’t have checked out were it not for Appendix N.
