Street fund and books 2012

Here's my annual summary of my street fund, money I found on the streets, in parking lots, and on floors, and of the books I read in 2011.

Street fund
In 2011 I found 70 pennies, 14 nickels, 18 dimes, 11 quarters, and a 5-dollar bill, for a total of $10.95, which brings my total for the past 15 years to $336.47. I am going to invest it in steel mills when I retire.

Books
In 2011, I read 108 books in the following genres
  • 3 biographies,
  • 10 children's books,
  • 1 epic,
  • 8 collections of essays,
  • 28 graphic novels,
  • 12 histories,
  • 14 memoirs,
  • 22 novels,
  • 4 plays and
  • 6 books for young adults
These are my favorites for 2011.

I still don't understand how you spot all that money lying around. Good luck on your investment of it!

Interesting selection of reading material.

I keep my eyes on the ground around places where people take their wallets out: bus stops, subway entrances, etc.
