This is a single location for all books I've read (and that I can remember). I'm finding myself having to go back through years of book roundups to see if I've read something when I'm looking for the next month's reading.
So hopefully I can just put it all here and have one post to search, editing it as I complete new stuff.
There's nothing new in here, it's just a cut/paste and cleanup from previous roundups.
