Bklist 2011

Dec 11, 2011 16:46

I know I should probably spend less time reading fiction and what not and more time reading medicine but - I don't think I can ever go back to first/second year when I barely read any real books at all. Anyway, tangential aside over, today I remembered that I used to have a booklist up on Blurty and I hunted it down and realised it was 5 years ago! I looked through it again and have crossed out another 25 books (instead of, you know, showering and doing productive stuff). I know there are a million books-to-read-before-you-die lists, and there have probably been some amazing books in the last 5 years which I should have read, and this list is pretty flawed in some ways but anyway. Maybe I'll post another list up one day.
