March 15, 2010 Update
Rachel has completed 72 books through 74 days. "Stay on target; stay on target."
She currently has started (but not completed) 11 different books, and she's committed to finish those 11 before moving on to any new ones. So if you've sent Rachel a suggestion, don't be insulted if she doesn't get to it for a week or two.
When you're basically reading a book a day, it warps your sense of time and money. So instead of thinking how much money something costs, she thinks of it in terms of book. When she goes out to eat, she's thinking, "That just cost me four books." And if a meeting gets canceled, she's gained like 80 pages. Her whole life is now framed in terms of reading and books.
It's true. If you ask Rachel if she wants to watch a t.v. show she's likely to say something like, "Well, I could finish this book in the time of one episode of (insert show here)." Or, she might say something like,"I could watch Project Runway, because then I could read at the same time." The whole way she measures time and money has shifted to being in the terms of books.
