How many years have I been scanning new book lists, digging through my personal library, noting suggestions from the newspapers or booksellers, and creating a daily reading selection to feed my own TBR list and also to provide suggestions to other readers?
Oh, I know that more and more stuff is getting published but more and more I am losing the capacity or acumen to consistently select a new book to read just because it’d new or has a flashy cover.
Also, as my remaining years are shorter and shorter, I am beginning to look more to the classic literature I have yet to read. I guess I could have been a ravenous reader of Stephen King but I just can’t see the value in that, especially when I have some many Henry James titles yet to read.
