Partly because books recommended by grandchildren tend to be shorter, easier, and fictional, as do some of the books of my childhood. (Jonathan is the exception; his books are either very long fiction or nonfiction with more philosophy than I can comfortably swallow.) But also, these days I find myself gravitating toward &quot;comfort reading.&quot;</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1529/50662024-02-19T16:01:33Zdstb<p>I only read 33! Way too distracted by my computer. I did have some projects like another t-shirt quilt and my genealogy obsession.</p> <p>Most of the books I read were the dark murder mysteries set in Scandinavia or the British Isles.

My desire to read non-fiction has gone nearly completely out the window.</p>
