This week Stan reviews his reading in 2024: how many books and pages, fiction and non-fiction, and offers tips on age-old reading problems, including: how to get more reading into your life, should you write in your books, reading in a distracted age, suffering from book guilt and how to conquer it, and more. Plus you’ll get an earful about the upcoming College Football Playoffs (Go Dawgs) and what the heck is Baseball’s Golden At-Bat?
Ferrol Sams is outstanding. Karen and I attended a talk he gave at Emory years ago and found him quite charming. One of our favorite lines from his first Sambo book was, “He’s a good boy. I just can’t think of enough things to tell him not to do.”
