I'm currently reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson and it's quite lengthy at 1300+ pages. Not only that, but there are some interesting digressions along the way, some which have gotten me interested in very basic cryptography (or at least the history). For instance: https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/about/cryptologic-heritage/historical-figures-publications/publications/wwii/german_cipher.pdf https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/about/cryptologic-h... So I don't see how in a case like this, I could finish this book (and any related materials of interest) in the allotted time, to reach the goal of 200 books a year. That's just unrealistic.
