Under Construction...

I like to read. A lot.

That is, I like very, very much to read -- and to do so in great quantity and frequency. (That's what we linguists/semanticists call ambiguity...)

This is just a start:

Hmm...I really, really need to convert this to a database. Many authors write in multiple genres...the Fantasy / Fiction / Science Fiction taxonomy just isn't going to work!

My book log is over here -- added 9/15/2016, ahead of other updates.

Scheme
If an entry is in black font, that means I own it.
If a book is Italicized, that means I have NOT yet read it, owned or not. (I've been borrowing more and more from the library...)
