2023 reading wrap up
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024 04:32 pmMy goals for the year were: 100 books, 2 classic sci fi books, 1 in French or German. Uh. ...maybe I'll finish my French book.... any time now. (Lies: I won't. It was L'Étranger and I got to halfway and just ...ugh, I don't want to.) So yeah, another year where I didn't meet that goal, whoops.
( it's a long pile of text about lots of books )
My list of Books I Finished Despite Loathing was still short this year, huzzah! I think it was just two - Isaac Asimov - Foundation, which I'd already mentioned, including why. And Thea Harrison - The Adversary, which was a novella, so reasonably short, and just. So inane. I generally have liked her other stuff for being simplistic, escapist, nonsense. This was simplistic and nonsense, but I'm not sure I detected any positive attributes. Oh well. We all have off days.
And generally I enjoyed a lot of what I read - in my personal ratings I had >60% with <3 or even more enthusiastic than that attached. So overall, good year! I was really happy with this.
