Some statistics and trends in the books I read last year This is a graph of the genres I read last year (2023). I read 2 books in the following genres that my chart didn't label: children's book, classics, humor, and sci-fi.

I read a lot of nice and interesting books this month. ✨✨✨ The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My biggest quarrel with C.S. Lewis is he thinks that friendship means seeing the same truth and working toward the same goal; the affection you have for other people because you've come to appreciate them for who they are rather than because your similarities is something entirely different (affection). I can believe these are separate kinds of love, but the wa
