So, as mentioned in a post I made a few weeks ago, I was hell bent on spending my 2025 Yuletide season (November 30th - December 25th) reading as many books as possible and I'm pleased to report that the total amount of books I read was 6. 1. Savile Row - James Sherwood (10/10: Read in April this year) 2. In Our Time and other Stories - Ernest Hemingway (9/10) 3. Killer in the Rain and other Stories - Raymond Chandler (10/10) 4. A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (11/10) 5. The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway (12/10) 6. A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway (12/10) 7. Bushido: The Soul of Japan - Inazō Nitobe (12/10) Ernest Hemingway has become my favourite author of all time and Raymond Chandler my second favourite author of all time respectively. It feels good to be back reading on a regular basis. I have about 5-6 Hemingway books, 1 Raymond Chandler book and possibly 1-2 philosophy books lined up ready to read in 2026.
