<h1 id="top">{{ page.title }}</h1>

<p>I started this reading list at the beginning of 2019. It includes books I've started or completed since the beginning of that year.</p>

<p>I prefer to read analog books, but I increasingly listen to audiobooks. Audiobooks are marked with 🎧.</p>

<p>In 2024, I added my rating for each book. These ratings are marked with ★s. As you might expect, the ratings are from one to five. I'll likely revise the ratings as I continue to reflect on a given book.</p>

<p>Book cover art is displayed only for the current year.</p>
