2016 Reading Log

[aurilly]

I don't do New Year's resolutions, but I want to start keeping a log of books I've read, in an effort to make sure I read new things, instead of subsisting entirely on a diet of the New Yorker, fic, the same Wodehouse books I've read a million times, and Trollope (so much Trollope... no wonder I was depressed).

First task is to get through or at least formally abandon the books I bought last year.
