I've read over fifty books this year (I read a lot). The ones I've enjoyed the most are:
* The MurderBot Series (Wells)
- So good I read them all twice through
* The Interdependency Series (Scalzi)
- Creative and fun, but I didn't like the wrap-up and ending.
* Project Hail Mary
- Surprising fun! jazz hands
* Old Man's War series (Scalzi)
- First three were great, last three were so-so
* Anne of Green Gables
- My daughters loved this one. I just now got around to reading it
and found it deeply touching AND amusing. I laughed aloud a lot!
* Lord of the Rings
- I re-read it once a year.
- plants 4y agoAwesome list, thank you for sharing! Curious, though - how do you structure your weeks so that you can consume 50 books a year? That would take me a while!
- jdshaffer 4y agoI read in fits and spurts. I read a bit after work, sometimes at lunch, and definitely before bed each night. Weekend, if I'm not otherwise busy, I'll read for a couple hours as well. Even in fits and spurts it adds up quickly!
- skydhash 4y agoFor me, it's with a Kindle. I bring mine everywhere as it's so small (Kindle Basic) I can put in the back pocket of my pants. Whenever I have to wait for something, or I'm taking a break, I just open it and the book is where I left it. 5, 10, or 50 pages, they all add up. Most books are around 600-1000 pages on it. I can finish a book this way in about 3-4 days. But my reading quota has lowered this year as I was reading wuxia (chinese) books where each is about 27k to 30k Kindle pages.
