I’ve never done this before, but over the last year I kept track of all the books that I both read and finished. Some are long and some are short, and they are mostly not in the order that I read them in. But for what it’s worth, here they are:

(*) denotes that I’d read it before.

(+) I would…

I’ve read a good number of these, but not all. I’ve gotten some good titles to add to my 2013 reading list.

I love watching his adam’s apple bob like that.

There came so loud a calling of the sea,
That all the houses in the haven rang.
He woke, he rose, he spread his arms abroad
Crying with a loud voice `a sail! a sail!
I am saved’; and so fell back and spoke no more.
From Enoch Arden by Tennyson
I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while the feeling may remain…
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain -
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again.
Alexander Pushkin
