I’m still tracking my reading with Goodreads<\/a>, which continues to be primarily eBooks sourced from my local library. I missed doing a summary post in last year, in brief I read 35 books (11,714 pages) in 2020. This was fewer than in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2021 was a lot like 2020, but somehow I read a lot more books. 64 books (20,858 pages)<\/strong>. My goal was 35, and I’ll probably use that as my goal for 2022.<\/p>\n

It seems the image dump of the titles is roughly the order I read them in. You can see I read a fair number of series. For the most part to find new material I searched what was available to borrow in random order. I got a few nice surprises.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the Sandman Slim series. The Diabolic series<\/a> also stands out as a fun read. I generally rate most books 3 stars, but this year I was more critical and gave out more 2 star reviews than I had in the past. Only The Terminal Experiment<\/a> and Sandman Slim<\/a> got 4 stars from me.<\/p>\n

With so many rich media experiences, I still think it’s important to disconnect and read. Better still to pick up a paper book and give your eyes something different to stare at. The local library is a great resource not only for books, I discovered that the magazine selection and software presentation was pretty good on my tablet.<\/p>\n
