What I'm Reading

This list is mostly for my personal use, so I can remember the books I've read. But I'm posting it publicly so that I can share it with others, as needed.

You'll notice a lot of prize-winning novels below. They're easiest for me to remember because I've read every Pulitzer-Prize winning novel in my lifetime.
