I’ve been logging the books I finish for several years now. This list does not reflect all the books I picked up, started, and put down, or the books I read parts of deliberately. I felt like I read fewer books this year than usual, but the count is close to those of previous years–the difference may be that a lot of them are volumes of poetry rather than prose. (R) after a title means it was a re-read.
