(Wheeee!)
2024...I'm cautiously optimistic.

Post title explained
"Book" is overused with my entries in this thread. A book often contains one story, sometimes multiple ones. Anthologies, for example. A comic isn't a book, yet I would count it here. Pulp fiction, which I read as well, are not really books, not even novellas.

Goals
- Read 6 books
...
Yeah, that's it.

Explanation (Colors optimized for "TT After Dark")
Normal Book
Short Story
Pulp Fiction (64 pages, cheap)
Comic, Graphic Novel
Tried it, but didn't read it to the end

Dostoevsky is immortal!
(he/him/his)
In 2023 I read 38 books, down from 41 in 2022. There are a few explanations for the decline (probably chief among them that I spent more time on other hobbies in 2023 than I had in years past, and there are only so many hours in the day). I also haven't previously counted audiobooks: I think I may start doing so, but noting them as such. In any event, here's to 2024!
