Over the years I have become obsessed with the literature from certain countries, or about certain times in history. I can go for months, even years, reading everything I can about this one country or topic, until the need is met…for now.
One day I would like to read (or reread) many of them, but for now, this page is to help me keep track of where I’m up to….which books I’ve read, which ones I own and which ones I still need to source from somewhere.
