The Book Challenge discussion

I am a new member. I appreciate the opportunity to join an online bookclub. I was in a bookclub locally, but it went defunct. My son, Jacob, wants me to get out of what he calls "my political funk", so I am challenging myself to read more books outside of politics {though I am sure I will read some political tomes also}. I am starting out with Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I am a voracious reader and have no way of knowing how many books I read in a year. I will try to keep count this year. Thanks for the group and I look forward to adding to the discussion from time to time. Keep the faith
