The List, 2012-2013

And so another book year comes to a close. I’m currently reading Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries, but I’m only halfway through this 800-page opus (and have been for a few days). I’ve read an absurd number of books this year, shattering all previous records. I have no idea if I’ll be able to read this many books in a twelve-month again.
