Dan Pelzer, who died on July 1 at age 92, is having a viral moment after his relatives shared his 109-page log featuring every single book he finished over more than 60 years
I’ve read a lot of books and I’m on the older side. When friends suggest a book to me, sometimes I can’t remember if I’ve read it or not. Then I go on goodreads, search the book, see if I’ve read it, check the notes I put in, and then I can either add it to my list to read or have a conversation about it (assuming my notes jog my memory)
