The paucity of books listed here should give the reader here an idea just how little I have read so far this year in comparison to previous years, when I would usually have read 250-300 books by now. I think I'll be reading quite a bit more in the coming weeks, so there is still a chance of reading 100 for the year, but this will be by far my lowest in a decade (2005 I remember as a year being so swamped with studies and work that I only read about 50 books that year, but I didn't keep a reading log back then, so I'm uncertain of the actual count). Anyways, here's the list of books read over the previous five months (the reading squirrels were on extended vacation):
April:
19 Milan Kundera, La fête de l'insignifiance (French; will read English translation later and review it then; entertaining)
20 Kirsopp Lake (ed.), The Apostolic Fathers, vol. I (bilingual Koine Greek/English; religious texts)
21 James Shapiro (ed.), Shakespeare in America: An Anthology from the Revolution to Now (non-fiction; Library of America edition; already reviewed)
May:
22 Mark Doten, The Infernal (will write a mini-review sometime before the end of the year; 2015 release)
23 Jesse Ball, A Case for Suicide (see above)
24 Erwin Mortier, While the Gods were Sleeping (will review on my WWI lit blog later; 2015 US release)
June:
25 Umberto Eco, Numero Zero (Italian; 2015 release; will review after reading the English translation)
26 Umberto Eco, Numero Cero (Spanish; see above)
27 Jeff VanderMeer, Annientamento (Italian translation; 2015 release; already reviewed the English edition)
July:
28 Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman (already reviewed)
August:
29 Andrzej Sapkowski, La Saison des orages (French translation from the Polish original; 2015 edition; will review in the near future)
Currently reading the two-volume Library of America anthology, Women Crime Writers of the 1940s and 1950s and I will try to review some, if not all, of those crime novels soon after finishing them. Hope to finish at least the first volume this month.
