I was going to post a new post for every book I read this year, but then I got behind and realized that I didn’t have a lot to say about all of them, so here we are. The main point for me was always to just have a record and see how many books I could read in a year, so here’s a summary for the year so far.
05/05/20 edit: I’m modifying this from a one time update to a list I will add to as the year progresses, just so I have them all in one place. Maybe I’ve always been this way or maybe it is age, but I notice that I’ll forget reading a book or watching a movie, etc, but if I see the title, on, say, a list like the one below, I can usually recall it and how it made me feel. I just can’t internally catalog it. So here we are.

Agatha Christie?
Agatha Christie stories are the comfy old sweater of books.
Also you are sitting about 8 feet away, you could just talk to me. 🙂
