We abandon the cold and gray of winter in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area for the warmth and sunshine of gulf coast Florida for the last few weeks of the year, a transition I always look forward to as we drive across St. Mary’s River, crossing the border into Florida and rolling down my window to feel warm air when 24 hours earlier, it was below freezing. The mission, should I choose to accept it: finish the two books I am reading now and squeeze in 10 more books before the end of the year. If I pull this off, I’ll finish Vallejo’s book while driving from the west coast of Florida to the east coast of the state on December 31, completing 1,500 books in 30 years, which I think is a pretty cool coincidence.
