Twenty Five Years of Book Club: The Numbers

I love Book Club. Twenty five years ago, a friend of mine came up with this great idea to start a book club. That was before they were as popular as they are today. What a wonderful idea it was! Today we celebrated with a High Tea at the Biltmore. Nine of us were able to attend. We have about 12 members, although we rarely have all 12 at a meeting.  For our 10th anniversary, we had a dinner party. For our 20th anniversary, we had t shirts made with all the books we had read printed on them.

We have done some record keeping over the years. We have a list in which we keep track of all the books we have read. We also have a journal or "the book", in which we track attendance and write who chose the book and what we thought about it.  I have mined our list for some fun facts:

310  number of Books Read

19 Authors that we have read more than once

                                     The Oldest published book we have read. Written in 1513.

We have not read any books by authors whose last name start with x, y, or z.
We have read 4 plays, 51 nonfiction books and have done poetry 4 times.

This book has the longest title of any book we have read.

                                       This book has the shortest title of any book we have read.

And this is the current book we are reading:
