| a nearly comprehensive listing of all the books I've read | current total: 922 unique books |
I began keeping this list in the summer of 1979. Books listed before 1979 were dredged up from memory and entered with the most likely year I read the book. The last column (M) indicates how many times I have read the book. In this case the first year I read it is listed. This list is ordered alphabetically by author, and then chronologically within author. Five genres are given: fiction, crime fiction, non-fiction, science fiction (sf), and fantasy. Children's books that can be read under 30 minutes are not listed.
