LOL. I just discovered this companion topic, despite joining in the reading challenge a few months ago. No doubt, because of the way I was introduced to it ... by referral link. I don't really browse the forum(s) a great lot, and because the titles are similar, probably mistook at a glance, as being the same.
I have been steadily meeting my goals, just held back now and then by the vagaries of life. The key point I guess, is that I am happy, all things considered, with where I am at. With my prime consideration, to enjoy what I am reading, and that is happening.
I have engaged in a couple of re-reads, and because they were so long ago (35+ years), I barely remember a thing ... so almost like reading for the first time, but with some foresight or hindsight.
One thing that has taken me a bit by surprise, is how quickly I have read the three J. Robert Kennedy books, a new author for me. The first book in particular, if I had started early in the day, rather than late, I would have read in one day. His books are well written and a damn good read, though they are rather economical, with no waffle. He is a great communicator, and I can see why he is the number one Amazon best seller. Despite the no waffle, the stories don't seem shallow, and certainly have twists occurring. Of course they are full on action, and over the top in some respects, and contain a high body count, and some very improbable situations. Never-the-less they are highly enjoyable, and the author clearly has a way with words and is a master of them.
That first book,
The Protocol, is currently a freebie, and each in that series is stand-a-lone.
