Nick KY15.4 To Tell the Truth I chose the two book option. I read Houston, Houston, Do You Read? by James Tiptree Jr. – a question mark in the title. I take the opportunity to reread this novella whenever I can, even if it means reading two books for what could easily be a one book task.
My second book, nonfiction, is Autobiography of Peter Cartwright which turned out to be equally as excellent. I think my two book choice paid off!
