I HAVE PUT THE 2022 READING LIST LAID OUT BELOW ON TEMPORARY HOLD AS I EMBARK ON A PERSONAL CHALLENGE THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD OUT OF NOWHERE: I WILL BE READING EVERY HARDY BOYS BOOKS EVER WRITTEN!*

When I was in middle school I would hang out in the library before school started with some pals of mine. In the library was an entire shelf of Hardy Boys books. I was always intrigued by them, but never bothered to actually read one, because reading was boring and lame. Well, now that reading is not boring and lame, I’m going to read me some Hardy Boys books dammit!

*Or at least the fist ten.
