Cameron's Book Round-Up: 2024, part 2

My re-reading journey continues.

Cameron’s Book Reviews: Late 2021

A collection of book reviews, covering what Cameron read from July through late October, covering mostly fiction alongside some journalistic and nonfiction books.

Edgar's Book Round-Up, July-August

With few distractions and a lot of unsupervised time, I’ve been burning through stuff pretty fast. We’ll see how well that holds, but so far, I’ve read almost half again as many books as I set out to at the beginning of the year — which is fine with me, but does lead to some lengthy book round-ups. So:

Cameron's Book Reviews: Putting a Stake in 2019

I also tend to do much smaller book challenges than Edgar does, specifically so I can spend more time ruminating on things. Of course, this means that I don’t explore quite as much, and often end up picking through the remainder of their omnivorous ranging for my own reading.

Edgar's Book Round-Up, January-March 2019

I haven’t been reading as much this year, or at least not as many books. I think I’m still reading with the same frequency, but this year I decided to dial back my Goodreads challenge number, because I wanted to read some denser, odder stuff. I found that in trying to read many books (last year I hit 45, which I think is pretty good considering I periodically do other stuff), I was privileging briefer ones. That’s no bad thing — efficient style is nothing to be sneezed at, and frankly I think we should all be reading more poetry — but I had been eyeballing a few longer and more intense pieces for quite some time.
