How many books have you read this year and how many more are on your list to complete by the end of 2022?
I’ve read around 10 to 12 books this year. I set out to read a book a month at the beginning of the year and so far I’m exceeding that. I’d guess I’m on track to read another four or five before 2023 arrives from the stack of half-read and unread books on my bedside table.
What are you currently reading?
I am currently reading She Said by Megan Twohey and Jodie Kantor, which details their successful efforts to uncover and expose sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein and other powerful men.
Has there been a book that was hard to get through, but worth it in the end?
Vicent Bevins’ The Jakarta Method was confronting to read and I often put it down after finishing chapters, particularly in the later parts of the book as he details the atrocities committed throughout Indonesia during the Cold War.
What book or series do you hope will be turned into a movie or TV show one day?
If anyone is ambitious, crazy and creative enough to bring Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test to the screen I’d love to see it. I know a movie was in the works in the early 2000s, although it seems to be dead in the water now.
