Harry Potter 1-6 (reading out loud with the kids, my first time and I'm loving it!)

Reading the first couple of Harry Potter books out loud with my oldest daughter a few years ago was awesome. I would have read them all with her, but she started reading them on her own and left me in the dust. So I just read them by myself after she was finished with each one. Was fun to be able to talk with her about each of them afterwards.

I'm now reading them with my 7yo daughter and we're on book 4 and she's starting to read it on her own and I just pop in as a guest reader a couple of times a week. It's still fun because she catches me up on what I've missed since our last reading.

I suspect I'll get through all 7 with my (now) 5yo son when he's ready because I don't think he'll ever sit still long enough to read a book on his own. If he ever learns to read at all.

Man the Chronicles of Narnia hit me differently as an adult
 
I'm sure read:

Feherty by Alan Shipnuck
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

Not sure if I read anything else for my pleasure.

I’m afraid my 2023 reading list is pretty much limited to the lesser half of the Stephen King catalog (basically whatever was at my library on kindle book that I hadn’t read yet) although there were still good stories in there. Also demon copperhead (like all of us sought to read)

Later in 2023 I read two history books about WWI as it had recently occurred to me I knew embarrassingly little (to me) about the circumstances of that war. Third in process now. Also limited to what my library has for kindle.

Also bought and read Geddy Lee’s memoir quickly as a Christmas present to myself bc rush fuckin rocks

yo, if you want to link WWI with WWII, then Once an Eagle was FUCKING AMAZING for that.

My commute is less than two miles, likely partially along the same road that 06deacon is talking about, and I know for a fact I can get here faster in a car, as I have done it on a bike. I also generally commute at slightly off peak hours. and riding on the sidewalk when traffic is moving is dangerous and a butthole move. But thanks.

So then you also must wonder about the psycho who has selected heavy rush hour to try and make a left turn into the Fleet Feet shopping center.

It's actually Ultra Running ! But, the dude needs shoes and the store is open. If I were southbound on Providence, I would have turned left on Huntley instead and gone in behind the HT.
