juliebarkley Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I haven't caught up on this thread, but I have a reading goal, so here for the reading goals! Right now, I'm just trying to make time for 15 minutes every day (though I can't always stop once I start). I would like to make some lists of "classics" - classic classics, but also classic scifi, mystery, etc. I read pretty widely and I do not care if the book is for adults or children. I think the only section of the library I have never taken books out of for fun is the early readers. No wait, Mo Willems and Nate the Great. No section is safe. 2 2 Quote Challenge archive Link to comment

(I started the first before Christmas...) Just finished Quicksilver. Probably the first Stephenson novel I do not outright love. Maybe because it's part 1 of a long series.... Maybe because there are too many big scientists thrown around... Maybe because I wasn't focused enough to read it on audio... I should definitely give it another go on paper.
