Todd Has Tried Hard to Read More Since 1/1/2019 (5 Years of Books)

I first stared trying to read more in July of 2008 after a friend pointed out that we were't getting any younger. I've tried particularly hard since January of 2019, which I've considered the second 10 years of trying harder. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from all of your lists. There are some silly and some very silly books on this list, but not everything we read can be serious, lest we get bogged down and quit. Happy new year and happy reading!
