Here's what I'd read in 2025. Only a couple of books related to Oscar. I finished an OBOB book at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, I read a book while volunteering with a group of students (including Oscar) in his class.
I never did try to start "Gravity's Rainbow" again. It still sits beside the bed.
