Attached is a list of the books I read in 2017.
Sometimes I add markers like (*) to indicate books I particularly
like. I also try to keep track of how many books of a particular
kind (novel, etc.) and from a given country and century (Eng.
19th, etc.), I read each year. For the complete list of my reading
since 1958, see
