I keep this page fairly current; it was last updated on April 12, 2021.

• The section for each year includes all the books I read that year (including the current year), in the order I finished the books.
• Books are marked “(new)” if this was the first time I read them, or “(reread)” otherwise.
• I separate out fiction and non-fiction not because I value them differently, but because they just are very different.
• Links on the books themselves are affiliate links to Alibris or Bookshop.org!
