Fantomas, Who Are You? — 40 weeks ago
So who is Fantomas and how is he able to have read nearly every book on both lists?

I am a compulsive reader, and have been for over forty years. i read an average of three books a week. I was an English major in college, and read most of the major 19th and 20th century novels by the time I was 25. Thank you for noticing. By the way, I just like the Fantomas picture. My log-in name is davecham55.

I just checked your list as well. I am very impressed with the amount of literature you read. It’s nice to find a kindred spirit who obviously shares my passion for books.

Hello davecham55
Nice to make contact with you. I am a retired English teacher and a lifetime reader as well, though I can only manage a bit over a book a week. Will be 70 next month, and (figuring in all the new books I want to read as well) I figure I can complete the first 1001 by the time I’m 90. So I don’t plan to die (or slow down) until then.
