read at least one book per month

I seem to recall reading another book in November. I have to look at my external brain (OmniFocus) to see if I did. It’s only a somewhat beneficial skill to be able to put something out of your mind when you’re done with it.

However this December I am reading Limits To Growth, 2002 version, which is a Very Important Book and easy to read. You should too. And since it’s the holiday, I will read another book for pleasure. I just have to select which one.

In October (I could swear I already wrote this, but I’m getting forgetful in my old age) I read The Vivisector which I had found in a pile of castoffs on Bornholm. The modern cover for the book is appalling, the version I have is quite artistic and more a propos. This was an intense read and very, very good.

I just spent two weeks of being very productive, and was beginning to feel a little blah. It occurred to me that I find reading fiction regenerative and time well spent for more reasons than one. So the other night I picked up Back When We Were Grownups (Ann Tyler) and plowed through it in two days. I feel better able to focus on my economics homework right now, and continuing the rest of my project to-do list which is finally, after several years, getting down to th point where I can entertain the time to start writing again, get my PhD apps assembled, etc. at a proper pace. And throughout, I will keep reading. I can easily read another book this November.
