You are not alone. Other than reading "The Promise" by Damon Gulgut (the Booker Prize) the only books I've read are non-fiction that our DEI Book group reads. Our most recent book was "The 1619 Project" and now we are reading "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States". Both of these titles were difficult must reads. Mostly I read the news and other articles on line.
Judy, I enjoyed hearing about a couple of your book group's recent titles. Sam said "The 1619 Project" is difficult reading, as you did. It's hard to absorb the truth, but it must have been helpful to discuss these books.
Ahh, a kindred spirit. I am enjoying your themed commentaries. We must be of an age. Though I am still reading several books at once, it does seem to take longer, but I am able to move in and out of these other stories easier now. I, too, have bookmarks from all over and wonder what to do with them. Thanks for sharing. I do think files and boxes of memories, articles and books are like a visual reminder of what passes through our minds and gives substance to the whole inner life. A good postcard. Thank you.
And, dear readers, I agree with Colette, too.

Mary, this is so interesting, especially your recognition of the whole inner life, even in times like these. Thank you.
Good ONE!
You are not alone on not being able to sit and read long.
About a month ago I started reading a little more. Finally finished a Fable. Easy read to pick up and put down.
Just started a book Piper read. A lot like Christopher Moore's writing. Easy read and funny.
"Hollow Kingdom". A dystopia where the animals talk. Hillarious!
Not reading a lot. Just pick it up when I feel like it.
I'm not familiar with Christopher Moore but I see on the library website some really funny titles! Do you have a favorite?
