Reading list

In January of 1990 I decided it might be interesting to keep a list of every book I read during the year. For several years the lists accumulated. Finally, I decided to compile them to see everything I'd read. It was rather impressive. I've been averaging better than 38 books each year. I still maintain an annual list and keep the compilation up to date too.
