Index Librorum Lectorum

As I've explained before, I keep notes on the books I've read, and I've just reached the end of another notebook. And, for the record, these are the books I've read since September 2007. It seems to be a very long list, partly, I think, because the notebook was more narrowly ruled than usual, and so had room for 18-months worth of books, partly because - at last! - I have very nearly cleared the backlog of books to be written about.

I've linked the title to my review of the book if I've written one, here or elsewhere; I'm happy to discuss books of which I haven't published a review (on the understanding that 'discussion' may be no more than "I have nothing to say about this book!")
