As I stated before, I am not going to read one page over 10,000 pages, so my last book must have a 153 page count. So I tried to search Amazon, but I had much difficulty searching by page count. So I went to Ebay, searched books for "153 pages," allowing for search within product description, and I got a lot of results. I sifted through them until I found something decent, and without further ado, here it is, book no. 25, and the completion of my summer reading list.
25. The Daybreakers - Louis L'Amour (153 pgs) Now it is worth nothing that this book is unique in the list, because the majority of the other books I did seek out and acquire the edition with the highest page count, and this book has editions with page counts higher than 220, but I found a 1960 edition with 153 pages, the perfect completion of the 10,000 Pages of Summer. 0 pages to go.
