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.
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.
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.
