James Bartlett :terminal:<p>#2023 is almost over, and while there's still *much* more work to do (/sigh/), at least I managed to break my "books read in one year" record for the second year in a row (I read 80 books in 2021, 96 books in 2022, and 111 books in 2023).</p><p>Protip: <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a> *totally* count as individual <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a>, so if you're a book or two shy of your <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ReadingGoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingGoal</span></a> for the year (and you're into <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dystopian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopian</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a>), snag a copy of "The Collected Stories of <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PhilipKDick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhilipKDick</span></a>" from your local library, and prepare to have your brain melted, scrambled, and/or warped, a few dozen pages at a time.</p>
Joe MH<p>My <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ReadingGoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingGoal</span></a> as ever this year will be to read... whatever I want, and definitely not set myself any kind of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingChallenge</span></a>. I surely can't be the only person who finds them a bit weird?
