October reading stats
#CoSoBooks
22 titles
3,758 pages
10 titles 110 pages and over
More print books than usual.
Apparently I didn't read any non-fiction.
No five stars for me this month, but several four+.
House of Leaves
It Would be Night in Caracas
Bury Your Gays
A Botanical Daughter
Patricia Wants to Cuddle
And of course the Swamp Thing volumes and the 1818 Frankenstein.
Thinking of starting a reading blog. House of Leaves would be a fantastic book to start with.
And all of this is remarkable because until about a year and a half ago, I was reading about four books a *year*.
I was a reader as a kid, and through school, but...
- Untreated sleep apnea meant that any time I relaxed, I nodded off. By the time I had it treated, I was out of the habit.
- Pain in my forearms, wrists, and hands (too much time on the computer) made it hard to hold a book. One reason I LOVE my eReader.
- Streaming is a time suck
I'm *delighted* I've made reading my #1 hobby.
Currently reading:
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (digital)
Enter Boogeyman (physical, short story collection)
Might also start an audiobook. Maybe Fingersmith. Which is almost 24 hours. Or John Gardner's Grendel.
