Ten-ish, around there i think. Favorite so far has been Kings Of The Wyld by Nicholas Eames, a fantasy story where merc groups are treated like rock bands (looking for work and doing jobs is them 'going on tour'). The story is about one of the more famous ones coming out of retirement (and 'getting the band back together') to try and save the daughter of one of then.

Loaded with humor and great characters. Loved the hell out of it.

Honestly none for myself. I had a few kids books ordered to help some of the kids learn to read better, but I haven't ordered any for myself.

None.

I think the last time I read a book was a Star Trek novel back in the 1990's.

none, started maybe 3 or 4 and continued reading 2 that have been reading for a while.

books aren't super useful because they only talk about what already exists.

No idea. Haven't even considered counting. I calculated last month that something I read earlier this year amounted to around 2,300,000 words.

ok, with the caveat that if you already have cutting edge knowledge you can also wade through research effectively

24, according to goodreads.

I'd normally have done more by this point in the year but Les Miserables was a real slog.

2-10. I'm a little behind my usual number. Had two research heavy classes at the beginning of the year and just haven't had time to read for pleasure.

I have a bad habit of starting books and then never finishing them, so I'm not sure I even read one this year so far, lol. I don't read as much as I used to, and I try to limit getting new ones since I have a bunch of old ones to finish.
