Right, I’m a masochist neck-deep in figuring out who, what, and why. Except for Wings of Fire; that’s my connection to my young’un.

Holy… you had a tough reading year.
Slaughterhouse Five, Flowers for Algernon, Starship Troopers, Catch-22, Infinite Jest, and Blood Meridian — in ONE year!?
Blood Meridian, alone, took me almost a year to read, toward the end of the Obama years. Flowers for Algernon I finished just before COVID. Slaughterhouse Five and Catch-22 I read in the 'aughts. I havent read Starship Troopers or Infinite Jest yet.
I tip my hat to you, friend. I wouldn’t unread a word either.
Starship Troopers is perhaps one of the worst books I’ve ever read.
Infinite Jest is secular scripture for the modern age, and it was immediately my second favorite book OAT, right behind Moby Dick.
Not pictured is the Brothers Karamazov, which I finished right after the turn of the new year. TBK was lovely; I really enjoyed the theology and unique culture explored in it.
