The worst part about finishing a book is trying to decide what to read next. It sometimes takes me DAYS to decide on something to read. Anyone else? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I buy books aspirationally. I have more that I want to read than I'll possibly finish. If I'm near to finishing a book and none of the ones I already have are appealing (I've been on a tear on a particular historical topic lately), I'll order something that fits.

I couldn't wait to start a new book on Monday after finishing the last one on Friday. They are from competing scholars with opposing views. I read 60 pages of the new one yesterday (I mostly only read when I'm at the office, which is three days per week; I'm online when I wfh).
