Craft, Hobby, or Cookbook: The Puzzler: One Man's Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life by A. J. Jacobs. I wrote about this on Sunday but a great overview of many different types of puzzles. I read the text, and now I am going to go back and try my brain at some of the sample puzzles at the end of each chapter.
Book with a Woman Protagonist: Absent in Spring by Mary Westmacott. The book focuses on Joan Scudamore, a British woman traveling back from the Middle East andstuck in a foreign rest house and coming to terms with the kind of person she is. I read it on archive.org.
More than 300 pages: Moby Dick by Herman Melville. One of the classics I'd never read. I listened to an audiobook version narrated by Anthony Heald. It was very funny in parts, which surprised me. I liked Ishmael and Quequeg the best, of course. Especially Quequeg and his coffin.
