Unpopular opinion: dog-earing pages is fine. Some of you just aren't ready for this conversation.

Me: I'll read one chapter before bed. Also me, at 2am: "I gotta hear the takeaways from the AAR."

Lukewarm take: the best war novels have a map, preferably at the front.

Bought another book today. My TBR pile is now a load-bearing wall. Not sorry.

Lonesome Dove series, for me. Gus & Deets walked a few hundred patrols with me (in my mind). Deets for his scouting abilities to sniff out IEDs; and Gus for his coolness under fire in an ambush.

I’ve been doing research this week on the science behind Bibliotherapy. Had a great discussion with Hilary Lithgow UNC. She’s running an in person veteran book club for over 10 years.

If you start reading books again, you will feel at least a little better. I promise.

Confession: I like paper books because I write in the margins & keep an index of profound points. What type of reader are you? Physical only, ebook only, or mix of both.
50%Physical only

Team - Thanks for your thoughts & votes! Thus far, @dgelliott00 made the best case for eBooks; someone said they also appreciate the ability to adjust the font face. Me personally I would take everything to Helvetica; titles & sub-titles in TNRoman.
