You'll make it Brett.

Wow, you really read across the spectrum politically speaking. I try to read one title a year that's from a dramatically different POV than my own, my hat's off to you for sampling so diversely.

P.S. I'm curious to know how many total pages you'll have here by end of 2019.

great job

Nice to see those Time/Life Civil War series there along with one of their WWII titles from their series as well. I have both sets along with their Third Reich set and the Vietnam series (Though I think this was eventually published by Boston Publishing). It was one of those feel good moments to acquire for my personal library the books I spent so much time checking out from the library as a kid. (Local librarian knew me by name and given that history didn't see as much demand, she allowed me to check out more books than allowed per check out after she saw my enthusiasm.) Truly wish I could remember her name, she was a wonderful lady who did much to encourage my voraciousness along with my parents.

See you're also from Charleston, where I was born and spent some of my childhood and married adult years. Small world.

From a rando on the internet, well done!!

I had a few of the Civil War books when I was a kid. My dad ordered me a few and thy would would come in the mail once a month. I am buying them again as I find them with hopes of getting the entire collection. Small world indeed! Cheers and Happy New Year from Chuck Town!!

Tom,
I try and vary up reading. Mostly I comes down to stumbling across something that seems interesting with hopes of learning something from the reading. Then I like to throw in some non-fiction in there to change it up!
I tallied up 69K pages, which is a personal record for me!!
Happy New Year and happy reading!
