Thanks, Bill. I mostly did.

For some reason, I read a lot of non-fiction in the early part of this year. I guess I should have made that challenge a little harder.

1176148 I finished my third book today - The Time Machine. I'm feeling rather dumb that I procrastinated on it for so long because I ended up liking it a lot. It was very thought-provoking, as all of this author's books are.

I have too many library books checked out, so it may be a little while until I get back to these books. I am looking forward to reading most of these books, so I need to make them more of a priority.

Next up from the list is likely to be Battle Ground.
