Preferably nonfiction, though I’d still like to cross War and Peace off my “to read” list.
At the moment, I’m reading Barack Obama’s first volume, A Promised Land, and it has taken a while to get through. Until I finish it, I’m only perusing the new titles at the library (we sometimes stop after going to the Y) but not taking anything home. This one needs my undivided attention.
What sometimes happens is that I will borrow from the library or download books from Prime and read them on my iPad, but then I end up ordering my own hard copies so I can underline and otherwise mark them up.
I try and mix up the genres of nonfiction, having recently read Jim Bouton’s classic Ball Four for the first time, along with another baseball book by Joe Posnanski; books by Adam Higginbotham, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Rachel Maddow, and Jon Meacham. I think I’ll probably look for Pete Buttigieg’s most recent offering– Trust— next, but only after finishing the Obama tome.
