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 674 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Eleanor Clark: The oysters of Locmariaquer
I so wanted to like this and read this as it, in some sense, ignited a whole genre of well-researched and well-written non-fiction. But I just couldn’t finish it. Too slow, too uninteresting, so much else to read instead. Sad, but true.
