Today I reached 50 books read this year - 39 since retiring.
Appropriately, the 50th book is about Santa Claus - Santa Claus Is for Real by Charles Edward Hall (with Bret Witter).
That's the highest total number of books read since I began keeping a tally in 2013. The previous high was 35 books in 2018.
With more than a week to go before the end of the year I may add a couple of books to the tally (I'm already more than half way through one).
I know that there are folks who read far more books each year. This is not a competition, so I salute them, and keep plugging away.
Given my tally since retiring, I suspect next year's count will be much higher. We'll see.
Meanwhile, my diet is on target - 37 pounds so far, and 13 to go to my original goal. I should hit that by the end of February at the rate I'm going.
I may push on after that. Perhaps I should read a diet book!
Pax et bonum
