Books
I’ve been using goodreads to keep track of what I read. At end of
2023 I dumped my goodreads library and moved it here. Books are listed
in order of reading, from most recent to least recent; the heading is
the year in which I read it. I also keep a list of books I might read
some day (202312202201).
