Starting books, not finishing them

I’ve gotten started on 3 books right now:

  • Embracing Defeat: Japan after WW2. A bit of history.
  • Paul Thereau’s new book Dark Star Safari. Just started skimming it, I got this via a recommendation from a magazine but have yet to make real progress.
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. In Japanese, trying to practice. I’m skipping to the good chapters.
