/lit/ - Literature

38 so far. I think I've found my upper limit for how much I can read and for it not to be just all mush in my brain. I'm enjoying it while I can because in a couple of years I'm taking a break from work to do a degree and I know that my reading for pleasure will plummet to almost nothing. Stand outs of the year is Barthes: some of the most entertaining essays I've ever read, Don Quixote, 'nuf said, Maupassant's Bel Ami, what a delightful, charming and amoral book, and Sterne's Tristram Shandy, what a raucous adventure, never have I laughed out loud so much at a book before.

You might notice that I only mentioned fiction. This year I've mostly stuck to lighter non-fiction hence why none of it is in my favourites for the year.

*key, dark grey = non-fiction, light grey = fiction.
