Since 2018, I’ve written lists of things I’d like to read at the beginning of each year. They provide a little structure for my reading over the following days, or at least function as a bit of a safeguard against choice paralysis.

I’ve sometimes kept to them (and sometimes haven’t) but I figured it’d be nice to have everything I’ve listed in one place, so I can keep track of what’s been read and what hasn’t. Links will be added once I’ve read the work. An (r) next to the work indicates that I will be rereading it.

(Well, it’ll be interesting to me I guess.)

This will be added to every time I make one of those lists. Only the books on the list will go on here: others I read through the year are extras. Think of this as an eternal version of one of those Planning The Pages posts.
