I am on and off in reading. I quite enjoy it, but for a while found myself busy doing other things. In an attempt to wind down sometimes I put some pretty moderate reading goals for myself in the past. I figure I track a lot of other stuff so might as well track that here as well. Feel free to ask me about anything I’ve read. (Transparency: these are referral links below)
