If only!!!! But just imagine the review pile then! [lol] I think my one day page read record recently is at least 160 pages but that's pretty unusual. I did read 'The Odessa File' in a single day in my youth but I did nearly burn my eyes out doing it. I doubt if I could manage that these days.... I'm definitely on the look out for longer books though and I do have 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Expanse' series of books to work through [grin].

I did the math on the page counts and found it broke down to 140 pages a day and 3 books a week. I have yet to top that! Yes, that review pile haunts me but I just plug away at it.

I used to read 100 books a year back in my teens but the books were a lot smaller back then. Retirement definitely gives you more reading time. Next year I hope/plan to read more books in the 450+ page range. I'll definitely need to that more often if I want to reduce my slowly increasing book review pile!CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-27493763462135287152020-11-29T02:40:43.731-08:002020-11-29T02:40:43.731-08:00This was an amazing trilogy to read.

It is my idea of retirement bliss, because I can read as much as I want without guilt or other obligations.
