Art Garfunkel famously keeps track of the books he has read since 1968. As of writing this, the count is 1327 (he does not add a review). I thought I could do something similar but I am adding short reviews of books as I read them, and I rake my brain over what I read over the last decades. This is, evidently, a work-in-progress: there are 649 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Larry McMurtry: Lonesome Dove
I raced through this very (as in very!) long four-volume saga, and for various reasons I had no high expectations, but ended up thinking that it is a master piece. However, I hesitate to nominate it as a favourite because it does have aspects that are not optimal, and if one criterion for being a favourite is that I would like to read it again, I probably won’t with this one. I am, however, planning on writing a longer text that explains my view of the book in more detail.
