Not That Impressive

This Milwaukeean read 138 books this year. Which does he recommend?

I mean, it’s ahead of me–I might end up with 90 this year if I read fast (my book year ends the week after Christmas, although I have been considering calling a lid on it when I finish my current book because, 2025, man).

The late blogger Randy Jackson read thirty books a month. Jeez, he died like 10 years ago. Do I still have to use “late” when talking about someone dead that long? I’m sure there’s protocol on it.

I suppose 138 looks impossible to someone who maybe reads one or two or none, but if I changed my reading habits from doomscrolling blogs and Substacks, I could probably hit that mark consistently. Or at least once.
