I love to read. Usually I am in the middle of several books. I also like making lists and tracking things. So this page is my list of books I want to read, and books I have read this calendar year. In the past I have kept a yearly list, complete with ratings. I'm changing that now to be just a list of books. Each link is to the book, eBook, or audio book I read.
⊕ Denotes new books that I haven't read before.
