A science fiction Light Novel taking place in a Tokyo that exceeds technology of the so called outside world.
If you haven't heard of Toaru Majutsu no Index, Index for short, then let me congratulate you for being able to survive under a rock. Though if you haven't been living under a rock, then you must be an oblivious person. People on /a/ used to make endless amounts of Index / Railgun Generals, until they were forcibly removed from the board by mods and popular request.
But enough insults, what kind of page insults the reader on the first sentence. I think I may be doing this wrong.
This page will focus on monitoring my progress through this Light Novel. And by monitoring, I really mean it. This is a gigantic feat for a reason.
I have made it a goal to read / catch up on the novels before February 22nd. And judging by the current pace I am going, I will barely reach this goal.
You might be thinking "Today is January 10th, you have more than 40 days to read all this!"
That may be true, but you see... the series is...
22 Volumes
That is ALOT OF VOLUMES. Not to mention there are two specials sprinkled in there, side stories to read (Like the Railgun books [there are two of them]) and some other minor things.
I won't even get started on New Testament (on two volumes)
It's going to be a fun trip, I hope you wish me luck, because after I drill all these books into my head, I might be a very tired and aged person. To go from not reading any books for 5 years to SUDDENLY picking up a book series that is past 4000 pages long... I hope you get my point.
UPDATE 9/12/12
I failed to meet my goal... but now I have my Vita hacked, and supposedly the pdf reader works (it didn't for me...maybe I did something wrong). Let's try to start this back up.
UPDATE 3/31/13
Vita PSP emulation doesn't have enough RAM, so whenever I try to open some Index PDFs, it just hangs and crashes. Not much can be done. However I was able to get my hands onto a book reader... maybe now I can continue onto the scene where Touma punches a nun so hard she goes spinning.
UPDATE 9/2/13
YAY! I finally caught up with the series! I started reading Index by around the beginning of 2012. Interestingly enough, there were only 3 volumes of New Testament out back then. After practically a year and a half of reading with many many breaks in-between volumes, I have caught up with the releases and am now eager awaiting the release of Volume 8 in 8 days. However I would need to wait for translations anyway. Guess I'll get started on side stories.
