Reviews and Comments
A SF reader and programmer writing his first novel, a literary fantasy about the magic of storytelling.
----------------------------------
In addition to Read I'm also using the shelves read-long-ago, read-lit-studies and read-phil-studies for all the books I've read at some point. (Some of those contained in the three latter lists I may want to re-read.)
For a total count as of 2024, this means I've read approximately 90% of the 600+ books on my list.
And I'm really trying to keep my TBR short :-D
