Reviews and Comments
I read both kinds of books, comedies and tragedies!
This list is apparently a random selection from among the books I've ever read and want to read, exported from Goodreads. There is no way to know what the selection criteria was, but from this moment forward in late 2022, I'll try to keep up on the books I read. There's no way I'm going to be accurate with the books I've read until now. Honestly, it's such a mess I should just start over, somehow.
