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.
