In 2018 I read twenty-five books, fourteen of which were nonfiction, nine fiction, and two poetry. This is nowhere near my pre-martial-arts numbers, but coming off a 75% decrease in reading since 2016, it is exciting to finally have a year that doesn’t represent a downward trend from the one before!

I read 1 book written in the 1800s
2 books written between 1900-1949
6 books written between 1950-1999
16 books written between 2000-2018
