I got through about 37 books last year, I didn't make my 50 goal. The last few months got really busy.

I'm on a study grind right now across a lot of different domains, but especially a lot of technical stuff that isn't fun. As much as I'd like to make a goal, it's not feasible and I'll just update when I am able to read and complete things.

Nearly finished with current reads. I'm trying to read books based on when I first acquired them. I will probably override some of these with new books, but my near future is probably looking like:

Gandhi autobiography
What Makes Love Last?
The Sea Wolf
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The Day of the Triffids
Silence of the Lambs
The Exorcist
Chaos Monkeys
Cryptonomicon
1984
Flowers for Algernon

I have learned that mosquitos actually pollinate. They are minor pollinators and their role is often overlooked.

Unexpected etymology find. The "cide" in both "decide" and other -cide ending words (genocide, patricide, etc) come from the same latin verb, caedere, which means "to cut, kill or strike".

Book 5 complete.

For some reason I hadn't marked that I had gone through book 4 a while ago.

Reading from another source. No one seems to have consistent page numbers. 12/24 chapters complete.
