Bookkeeping

I keep a diary of what I have been reading. It has been slipping away from me for some time, the pile of books to be written up in the big spiral-bound book getting larger - it is now several piles, plus a written list which I use to re-establish the piles when one or more of them fall over. You may point and laugh. But I persevere, I do not give up hope, and when I reach the end of a volume, I index it. So here's - not what I've read, but what I have entered in my diary since November 2011: ( behind a cut so you can skip it and read something more interesting instead. )

Some great stuff, and some not so great. Less of it seems to have been written up in LJ than previously; but then, some of what has been, has been written up at inordinate length. So it goes.
