I'm up to 31, reread the entire Travis McGee series, some Forsythe, a couple of Erik Larson's books, reread the Boy Scout Manual (1960 edition), I am set to reread both books of the Bible, A Helmet for My Pillow, With the Old Breed, several books on WWI, started the Creasey series, and several by James Bell Scott on writing short stories and novels. Been trying to lay off the idiot box.

I read a few Larson books and liked them.

If you haven't read In the Garden of the Beasts take a look at it.

Since Covid I only read in GD and listen to podcasts.

Finished a few books but having daily routines disrupted has slowed my reading down.

I knew things had deteriorated when I realized I was listening to thirty minutes of Keith Richards talking about open G tuning.

I was hit with gnarly headaches in March and April, but I still managed to read more than a few.

You have a fertile mind.  I can read a book and extract a sentence that is useful to my research.  Sometime there's nothing.   Hit or miss.

More than I've listed in those What Are You Reading Now threads.  I'd be giving away my bibliography.

Honestly, I've read less as I tend to read more in winter.

I’m over 40 for the year according to my iPad.

Actually a bit below average.

112 last year, and that wasn’t remarkable.

None during Covid, which is the same amount I've read in the last 20 years


I read so much from age 7 to age 30, sometimes a book a day and never less than two 500 pagers a week, that one day I was like Forrest Gump running through the desert and said to myself 'I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now'

Since then it's been non stop technical or informational stuff, mostly online. I don't get anything out of books anymore and couldn't get more than 50 pages through the Davinci Code, which was the last book I tried to read. I still watch movies and enjoy a good one the same as ever, but not books

It’s hard to say this year how many? I did reread 1984. I read financial statements if that counts!

My life hasnt really changed much since COVID.  Busy at work and spending time doing things around the house and with my boy.  We spend a lot of time outdoors hiking, oon the boat, etc.. so i am lucky to read a half hour before bed a few nights a week.  Read about 5-6 since COVID

Jack Carr series- 3 books
Extreme Ownership
5 Love Languages (wife requested i read it)
Rich dad, Poor Dad
