Atomic Habits & The Midnight Library.
Used to read all the time, I was a History/Pre-Law major...but I haven't kept to the habit in years. So, this is my attempt to rekindle my love of reading. I find myself getting antsy/distracted when I try to read now...trying to find a way to relax and just let myself absorb the material.

I have the same problem. I used to be able to sit and read for hours without being distracted. When I got out of the habit of it I started scrolling on my phone and that wrecked my attention span. I started putting my phone in another room and setting a timer for how long I want to read. It's been a few months and I can tell my attention span is getting better.

Will have to give it a try.

I love her books. Just got her latest.
I’m currently reading The Forever Game by Jeffery Deaver. It’s the series the new show Tracker is based on. So far a good and quick-paced read.

A Confederacy of Dunces
I’m about a third of the way through it right now. I think that it’s funny. It might be the most ridiculous book I’ve ever read.

I read it about a month ago. You're absolutely correct...it's ridiculous. I mean that in the best way.

Just wrapped up red rising and decided to do a reread of the stormlight archives.
Crazy how much I missed.
Did Dresden files a bit back. Loved it.

The Bad Weather Friend - Dean Koontz
This is my first novel by Koontz and I'm really enjoying his style so far (about halfway through it). Anyone have some favorites by him?

Finished up Red Rising yesterday, and started Golden Son earlier today.
It's been years since I've read, so I set goal of reading at least 10 books this year.
I'm currently on #7. (Tuesday's with Morrie, 1984, The Midnight Library, Project Hail Mary, Confederacy of Dunces, Red Rising). Kind of all over the place, but can't believe I went so long without reading, as I'm enjoying it a ton.

'Intensity' was a great read by Koontz. It was my first of his and I was hooked immediately.

Had started:
But didn’t get far before I decided I wasn’t in the mood for history so switched too:
Absolutely hooked. After reading 3 body problem last summer and now this I think sci fi is now my favorite genre

I listened to the first 2 Shelby Foote volumes on the commute to work.
Had to take a break before the longest one in volume 3. Maybe this summer .
Currently reading The warmth of other suns- about the great migration and I’m about 60% done with it and it’s vaulting up my favorite and impactful books I’ve ever read
Really recommend this one

I just finished Jeff Wheeler’s KingFountain series and loved it. Six books. I don’t know if Wheeler is that highly regarded or popular but I’m going to read more of his stuff. Will read his Muirwood books next.
