I hadn't been reading much in the past years for various reasons but the online political commrntator Liz Wheeler had a good suggestion; she sets herself a target of reading thirty books in a year so I decided to adopt the same goal which ironically necessitated quitting keeping up with ehr show. I have a huge pile of unread books that I own and which I periodically add to so I thought I would start there - some of these are older and some are not even the type I would collect today but I will declare it good to expand your universe of literary knowledge.
I just about scraped over the line with thirty. After a fast start I limped to the end as I was out of country for a few weeks in the middle of the year which broke my routine and I failed to make enough time. We'll see what we can accomplish next year - There a few other things I need to take care of first before sitting down and dedicating myself to reading again but the shleves here in the dojo have already been repopulated as you can see below...
The thirty books I read and some brief thoughts on each after the jump.
