So I score K-O as 60/190 or just a bit under 32%. Looks like I have some work to do here. I suppose if I keep to my plan and spend a fair bit of time in the next year going through Mahfouz and Narayan, I can get up to 40%.
Not quite sure how well I'll do with P-Z (and the grand total), though there are a number of short poetry collections that I have read; however, this is somewhat countered by a nearly complete set of Steinbeck, of which I've read little. I should be able to tabulate by the end of the weekend. Very, very preliminary calculations suggest that I will be over 35% for all fiction/poetry but won't hit the 40% mark. There's definitely a lot left to read (400+ individual works), but still doable. At my current rate of reading (and allowing myself to get sidetracked by slipping in other non-canonical and non-shelf books), I'm looking at another 8 or 9 years. Maybe a decade at worst...
