Well, it has been a bad year for reading thus far. It is mid-May, 2025, and I’ve not read a single book.

The reasons? I returned to three times week aikido practice and I’ve been concentrating on running my Traveller and D&D campaigns.

The truth, however, is that I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the games but not DOING much with them. Time I really should have been reading. My daily reading habit, thanks to this obsessive behavior, has fallen apart. That is about to change. I’m back on it. I have over six months left in the year, and I’ll read two books per month. So I’m setting my goal at 24 novels.
