I’ve never kept a reading list before but my 14 year-old twins do, and they put me to shame last year. So: challenge accepted. This is not a full list–the purely entertaining reads are not included. These are largely texts I’m reading toward writing projects, and for teaching. You can find the full list here. Annotations to come.
I am not sure what to do with essays. I dislike categories, but I am also, not interested in chaos. I am not counting chapters & essays, just books. Small or large.
I am the most inconsistent person I know when it comes to documentation, not in terms of accuracy, but duration. We’ll see how this experiment goes.
Also, the Clarice Lispector image attached does speak to this post, in a very slant way.
