I read a lot. I've been keeping a book log since the beginning of 1999. I've read 2260 books since then (about 79 books per year).
Below is the list for this year. See complete list.
Currently Reading
The Odyssey
by Homer, translated by TE Shaw Okay so I jumped on the bandwagon in the sense that I decided to read The Odyssey, but I chose a public-domain prose translation rather than a recent one.
