I’ve always wanted to keep track of my reading over the year. This list is out of order for 2021, and I know I’m missing a couple of books and all the articles, literary journals, and other short pieces. I’m starting now and will try to keep up with it. The first one on the list is the current book I’m reading. Any suggestions?
