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 608 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Gunnar Ekelöf: Samlade Dikter *
One of Scandinavia’s best poets, an intellectual with a wide-ranging set of interests, yet his very late poems are some of the most heart-wrenchingly personal I have read. But beautiful.
