I got a lot of reading done in August, and I hope September is fairly productive as well. But 16 books productive? We’ll have to see. I need to get The Appearance of Power formatted, so that takes precedence, but I should still be able […]
My stretch reading goal for 2026 is currently 100 books. I am at 98 for the end of August, so I will need to set a new stretch goal for the year soon. August was a success. I completed all my Tier One reads. This […]
My stretch reading goal for 2026 is currently 100 books. At 89 completed at the end of July, I will likely need to set a new stretch goal. I’ll decide on that number in the next month or two. August will be busy with some […]

April was a strong reading month for me, despite two weeks of travel. I actually tend to read more when I am traveling. Once I am in that hotel room, I don’t have many distractions from my day to day life, and the page count […]
