Books I've Read

Currently reading: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy - Lawrence Sterne

I've kept track of all the books I've read since around 2019, listing them in the backs of a specific sketchbook each year. I've somehow managed to find almost all of those sketchbooks, so here I present them for your entertainment and as a backup. They are in chronological order within the year (e.g. this year the first book I read was Ammonite).
