It’s been another good year of reading books. A few interesting notes:

  • Thankful to the Multnomah County Library system for borrowing about half of them, including the nice physical copy of How to See.
  • A couple were public domain books from the wonderful Standard Ebooks project. I will be returning to pick from there again for sure.
  • I listened to my first ever audiobook, The Silmarillion. It was a great book for that format as it was written like a mythology and that might have lost my interest if I were to read it. Also, there were lots of interesting names that I would’ve surely pronounced badly.
  • A good balance of fiction/non-fiction and genres therein really kept my interest going, just like I had mused about a year ago.
