FIFTY-NINE YEARS OF READING

For those who are curious, attached is a list of every book I've read cover-to-cover since 1958, when I was in the seventh grade. I tend to be a bit obsessive, keeping a list of this kind. Sometimes I've added markers like (*) to indicate books I particularly liked; but I've been rather inconsistent about that. 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. Richard Seltzer
For reviews of some of these books, see www.samizdat.com/isyn/reviews.html For brief notes on others, see www.samizdat.com/readrev.html
