2017 Reading

Publishing a list of what you've read in the last year comes across as braggy pretty quickly. On the other hand, reading all of these books was a lot of work. (Admittedly, very enjoyable work in most cases.) Looking back on it all I see more re-reads and more 20th-century books than I can remember having read in most previous years. Also, it feels like there should have been a much more substantial showing of foreign texts, since I was in them every day. This is what I get for only being able to go 10-20 verses at a sitting.
