Also, I have been doing a bit of math to figure out how long it's going to take me to get to the 1960s, which is where I really want this project to reach.  At the current rate of one book a day (give or take) it's going to be approzimately 32 years, and that's unacceptable.  If I can ever get it to three a day, that will make it 8 years, which I think is great.  But given that it takes me about an hour to two hours to read these golden age monstrosities, that's not likely to happen.  I need World War 2 to start so that the paper drives can shorten the page count.
