This is horrendous. Because I am coming to the end of the 50 Book Challenge I thought I would make a kind of ‘long-list’ of books lying around the place that I would quite like to read sometime in the next year or so. Below is what I got. This is truly a barely-controlled addiction. This isn’t even exhaustive – it’s kind of the top line. I fear for my sanity if I try this again next year.
Edit: I’ve revisited this list and struck through all books read. I’ll continue to do this through the year…
