After an extremely difficult 2020, I'd like to think my reading discipline rebounded at least somewhat well in 2021 - it was definitely a success by the standards I'd set for myself. Without falling prey to hubris, I'd like to raise my hopes for the year to come. Since I'll likely encounter my share of distractions and discouragements, I'll take that into account and content myself with the modest challenge of 80 books this year.
So far, I've completed one:
1) Beggar Thy Neighbor: A History of Usury and Debt by Charles R. Geisst
