I’ve been keeping track of the books I’ve read for a number of years. Slowly but surely, I’ll be adding them here, sorted by year. Links go to reviews I’ve written here on RFdc. Titles with a (*) notation have a review pending (assuming I get around to it in a reasonable amount of time, anyway).
If you’re interested, you can see my entire library on my LibraryThing catalog page.
