title: Reading List
layout: single
---
I generally strive for a book per week, but this is by no means a steadfast goal. For a list of series and their status, there's the [Reading List Series](/reading-series/) page.
<details><summary>Works in Progress</summary>
<ul>
<li>James S A Corey - Abaddon's Gate</li>
<li>Norman Boutin - Empress Theresa</li>
</ul>
</details>
