I like a wide variety of books but do prefer fiction written with style! I am hoping to get some reading caught up on, including finishing some science fiction and fantasy trilogies, as well as the novels of William Golding and Anthony Powell.
For 2023, I might finally start Proust, what with the new translation being completely available this year!
