Here’s the link for this month’s thread, which will be active through the end of the month. Then a new thread will begin.

[Khadaji’s Whatcha Reading Thread - September 2023 edition - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/khadaji-s-whatcha-reading-thread-september-2023-edition/989241/73)

And, yes, the ‘Whatcha Reading’ threads are extremely interesting! There are many and varied likes, dislikes, tastes, and preferences. I look forward to each and every new post.
