Below is a list of all the books I’ve been reading, similar to how tracking with goodreads might work. I’ve been keeping this list for quite a while now, but don’t know exact year boundaries for the earlier parts. Specifically, they are listed in the year I finished reading the book, not the year I started it.
The list mostly contains fiction, but not all the non-fiction books I’ve read. Sometimes I note non-fiction as well, but not always. Nor do I note audio-books, though I rarely listen to them.
If a book appears on the list multiple times, the re-reads are annotated with [+]. This doesn’t track re-reads of books that happened before the list began.
The original goal with this was to never re-read a book already on the list! When it began, I felt I was in a place of just reading the same books over and over. However, I relaxed this goal over time, and just track the re-reads now.
