I didn’t put together a wishlist for season 4 cause I’m just goin with the flow this year, BUT I do have one singular wish! Just ONE:
I need more books from Paul! I need to be able to see the titles of these books (I’m lookin at you, prop department that took the dust jackets off hardcovers 👀). I am making a Paul Strickland TBR pile of books and so far only have two. I need more than that!!

So what books have you noticed Paul reading?
Hello, lovely human! I'm so glad you asked!
I wanna do a little #StricklandReadingChallenge for myself at some point.
The books fall into 3 categories:
Category #1: Books I'm 100% sure about.
This is The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It's a nonfiction book that details the horrors of Soviet slave camps.
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This book is written as a letter from Coates to his son, looking at the realities of what it's like to be a black man in America.
So from the two I'm certain about - Paul definitely prefers nonfiction reads.
I'm pretty certain this is the same book he's reading in the gif below ⬇ because it's in the same episode as the one above and he says "I just started this book" and the color of the cover fits.
Category #2: Books I might have figured out?
So there's really only one book in here, but it's this one:
I think that spine says Vineland. Which would be this book:
But I have no idea if this is right... if anyone else sees something different there - let me know!
Category #3: Who The Fuck Knows
I’ve zoomed in, I’ve adjusted the lighting, I even rotated it around and tried to read the title heading on the open page... I’ve got no clue on this one. Possibly a classic? The font and paper style definitely looks like an older book. But... this one’s basically impossible to tell, imo.
... did this answer just reveal my neurosis when it comes to books, reading, and Paul Strickland? Quite possibly.

Hi! I have seen your 'The 126 + hobbies/interests' series, I love it. Just in case you might be willing to, any chance you might add a set about Paul and reading/books? Take care.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 💙
Absolutely. Bookworm Paul Strickland is one of my favorite things to exist. My plan was to put one out for each character first and then circle back around to any secondary ones.
Side-note, but I actually went back to all the scenes of him reading and tried to figure out the titles of the books. My plan was to do a little Strickland Reading Challenge and read all the books Paul reads on the show… but I’ve only managed to figure out two of them. The others are hard to tell cause they’re hardcovers he took the dust jackets off of.
