Time to start a new year. I made it past 50 in 2020, but only by 1. Didn't really have the extra time I expected to spend reading. Only one carry-over book, that I had just barely started at the end of December. I'll also see if I can pass last year's page count of 11,747. The Agatha Christie reading group continues to read the novels in order, though I might throw in a few extra.

Came out even for the year. Thought I'd make a higher total, but Dune turned out to be an almost unbearably slow slog to get through. Apparently, in 1980 I was able to overlook how incredibly sexist it is.

In addition to 51 books, I read 20 magazines and 78 comic books.
