Updating this while it is still ReadingDay (19th).

I read and logged more books than ever before, last year. This is perhaps thanks in part to starting the year off with a reading-trip to the far north and in part to the many teaching trips before the really personally significant ones. There are large gaps in equally large chunks of the world where the stories are from (even after considering the many stories in anthologies guarantee quite a varied geography) and a disturbing dearth of comics and graphic narratives. (There is just that Gipi one; brilliant and alone.) The most memorable and appropriately quote-worthy is The Overstory. (Followed far enough behind by the Calvinos.) This is also the year a lot of people recommended me things that ended up tourdeforcing their way into my life. I look forward to more.
