I have a rule the book needs to be at least 3/4s read to count in my yearly page count. I have about two that I abandoned this year, a lot more than that last year. This year since I have Kindle Unlimited there is no penalty for starting a book that I don't like, since I get the books per month not per book. I have a similar length commute to you pdurrant, also an hour, eventhough I shortened it considerably a few years ago when I moved my wife from the outer suburbs to the middle burbs. I would still like to get it down a bit further but that does not look like its in the cards, since my wife and I fell in love with our current home, of sixteen years so far.

42% off my challenge taken care of, so I guess I am good since we are only 25% of the way through the year.

Interesting service this next issue is, however I use a kindle and that service does not include Kindles. New Yorker is an interesting magazine, since I live in the Nations Capital not the big apple that is of little interest. I also tend towards intellectual magazines such as National Affairs who's current issue is about race issues.
