You’re embarrassing me with your lengthy German summer reading, while I just picked up the latest Anthony Horowitz novel from the library…

Allow me to recommend a book in my to-read pile: The Oswald Puzzle by Larry Hancock and David Boylan, which takes a in-depth look at Lee Harvey Oswald, the person. Yes, the coauthor is the same guy who worked at Brown and whose garage door frequently opened and shut on certain nights.

What a long list of long books…

Good luck. :)

Read them before the GOP takes them and burns them.

I doubt if any of them could even decipher the titles of the German books, let alone the content. As for the translations of the others, they’d probably think that thick books with several hundred pages would be too much for most people to want to read anyway.

OK, hope you have a lot of coffee to go with those books!

I read while drinking my morning cup of Joe. After lunch, I read while siping a double espresso. That's my daily coffee but not reading ratio.

That should keep you from nodding off! That and the trips to the bathroom in between!

At my age with BPH, the trips to the bathroom are frequent. That said, it could be worse.

It's better than watching TV, but I try devote at least a hour a day to reading a book. I probably spend more time reading the news and posts on Substack.

It's a lot of reading in small bites, so to speak--10 pages here, 10 pages there, but it adds up.
