I like to read.

And I like lists.

I have been keeping a month by month list of every book I have ever read since about 1992.

(I am not making that up.)

I refuse to go back and list all of those books here, but I am beginning a book list of what’s being read at our house as of now.

If there’s a link – then you’ll know I have written a review about that particular book.

If there is no link, but you want to know what I think about that work, feel free to ask me.

I’ll tell you.

Let the list begin.
