In order of recency and preference, here are all the books I've read
or am currently reading. Within each year, I present the books by the
rough order in which I most enjoyed them.
</p>
<p>
When linking to a book, I attempt to avoid any particular seller
(especially Amazon). If this isn't feasible, I'll default to an
independent bookseller or no link at all. In addition, I try to
reflect -- in varying degrees of detail -- on every book I read. I
link to these reflections when they're available.

Books I'm currently reading are
