Retirement is probably the perfect time to read that series!

I always know what I want before I get there, I bring a list. I use good reads for recommendations

I have a couple at the moment, the third volume of Proust, and War and Peace. Im only putting them off because I'm got 50+ hours of flying coming up later in the year and I think it'll make for a good opportunity to get lost in those books

Reply to How do you rate your books on Goodreads? by pensieve64
1 & 2 star - I don't use these ratings, I just stop reading a book if I don't like it, and I wouldn't rate a book that I'd read only a small part of
3 stars - good book but probably wouldn't reread and would only recommend it if it perfectly fit the request
4 stars - very good book that I can see myself rereading and would readily recommend
5 stars - great book, will recommend, will purchase if I don't already own it
I rate purely on enjoyment, my enjoyment is mostly based on how good the writing is, how it affects my mental state (including negatively), and how much of a page-turner it is.
