re: 2023 Reading Challenge

well i set a goal for 30 books this year, but that, it seems, has turned out to be a little too optimistic. that said, some of the books that I picked were pretty dense and those slowed me down. Dont regret that. We'll see how far I get by the end of the year, hopefully at least 23-24. The two I'm reading right now are both 800+ page non-fiction though, so that will take awhile.

2. Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom - Slavomir Rawicz
3. No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy
