I failed to work down my back log much last year. Hopefully I can change that this year, and hopefully I can read a little more than last year.
Goal: 15 Books - Completed
1. The Hellenistic World - F.M. Walbank, 251 pages, 4/5
2. The Shrinking Man - Richard Matheson, 187 pages, 1/5
Ending sucked. Only good part was him killing the spider
3. The Fall of Arthur - J.R.R. Tolkien, 233 pages, 4/5
A shame tolkien never finished this poem, it's a good rendition of the end of Arthur's life
4. King Solomon's Mines - H. Rider Haggard, 233 pages, 5/5
Fun adventure
5. Animal Farm - George Orwell, 140 pages, 5/5
Boxer deserved better
6. The Time Machine - H. G. Wells, 107 pages, 5/5
7. A Princess of Mars - Edgar Rice Burroughs, 143 pages, 3/5
8. The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester, 221 pages, 3/5
9. The Space Merchants- Frederick Pohl & C.M. Kornbluth, 155 pages, 4/5
Finally a dystopian scifi novel with a happy ending
10. The Star - H.G. Wells, 1 web page, 3/5
11. The Rise of Rome (Books 1-5) - Livy, translated by T. J. Luce, 341 pages, 4/5
Rome's rise from nothing to a powerful republic is pretty cool.
12. Nightfall and Other Stories - Isaac Asimov, 395 pages, 4/5
13. Shadows of the Empire - Steve Perry, 385 pages, 4/5
14. The Invisible Man - H. G. Wells, 207 pages, 4/5
15. Heart of Darkness and the Secret Sharer - Joseph Conrad, 199 pages, 5/5
My favorite quote from these stories is when Marlow is talking about what Romans coming to Britain would've been like "Imagine him here-the very end of the world, a sea the colour of lead, a sky the colour of smoke, a kind of ship about as rigid as a concertina and going up this river with stores, or orders, or what you like. Sand-banks, marshes, forests, savages-precious little to eat for a civilized man, nothing but Thames water to drink. No Falernian wine here, no going ashore.... Oh yes-he did it. Did it very well too, no doubt and without thinking much about it either, except afterwards to brag of what he had gone through in this time perhaps. They were men enough to face the darkness."
16. The New Hugo Winners: Award Winning Science Fiction Stories from 1983 - 1985 - 317 pages (read 184), various authors, 3/5
Couldn't finish all the stories. Some were too weird/just not good, but then maybe my expectations were too high because of the award status. A few were good, with Press Enter by John Varley being the best one and a 5/5.
17. The War of the Worlds - H. G. Wells, 108 pages, 5/5.
18. Bran Mak Morn: The Last King - Robert E. Howard, 376 pages, 3.5/5
It's a shame. There's some great stories from Howard in here. Kings of the Night and Worms of the Earth are among his best. Problem is, Bran isn't in the rest of the stories much which leaves the other stories without a big recurring character like Conan/Kull and wind up just being random tales involving picts.
19. Roughing it in the Sandiwch Islands - Mark Twain, 109 pages, 5/5
20. Dracula - Bram Stoker, 294 pages, 5/5
It was just really, really good.
21. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving, 37 pages, 5/5
22. Nightflyers & Other Stories - George R. R. Martin, 216 pgs/372 pgs, 1/5
Title story was interesting at first but the explanation for what was going on was just pretty meh. Second and third story were ok (not great), fourth tried to take a high ground above religions. With that and what i had read not being that great I dropped it.
23. Diamonds Are Forever - Ian Fleming, 7 hours (audio book), 3/5
Goal: 15 Books - Completed
1. The Hellenistic World - F.M. Walbank, 251 pages, 4/5
2. The Shrinking Man - Richard Matheson, 187 pages, 1/5

Welp. I’m a teacher and in grad school, so I guess I will aim for 30 books.
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:45 pm to When in Rome
I did terrible last year - I don’t think I finished any book I started.
My goal is 10 books, plus I’m doing the Bible in a year program.
I gave up on the Bible in a Year in March
Finished:
1. The Searcher by Tana French
(First book I’ve finished in two years
)

My goal this year is to read 35 books. Here is my list, in no particular order:
Does this include audio books? Because im starting to realize a lot of people say they read something and really they've just listened to it
Not saying that's you. Just curious.

I did terrible last year - I don’t think I finished any book I started.
My goal is 10 books, plus I’m doing the Bible in a year program.
My advice is pick a shorter book you wanna read to start with. 300 pages max. Try to read for at least a half hour a day. I know I have issues starting books and putting them aside bu sticking to 1 book and finishing it will help you finish the next
Good luck reading the Bible in a year, hope you meet your goal. It's definitely worth reading.

Fell off last year and didn't quite reach my goal.
Going for 30 books this year, but should be able to surpass that.

quote:In the case of my list, the 35 are going to be hard copy reads. I am not including my audible books in this list, because I usually select those the month of, and because I tend to listen to books I don’t mind not retaining as well (the list of 35 I intend to absorb as much as possible via traditional reading). But I still think listening to audiobooks “counts” as reading.
