“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” — Mason Cooley
GOAL: 40 BOOKS | BOOKS READ: 40 (10,311 pages) Another unpleasant bi-product of the global pandemic was a temporary case of “reader’s block” that lasted throughout the lockdown, putting me at risk for not meeting my goal this year. I did slowly start to rally during the summer, but the return to school was accompanied by a lot of “required reading.” Finally, around Thanksgiving, I hit my stride.
