2025...No comment.

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
Normal Book
Short Story
Pulp Fiction (64 pages, cheap)
Comic, Graphic Novel
Tried it, but didn't read it to the end

[Behemoth]

In 2024 I managed 58 books, more than I've done in recent memory. This was probably due to a combination of (a) counting audiobooks (love to listen to something while I yoyo or kendama) and (b) the election finally breaking my crippling Twitter addiction.
