I have updated this list to reflect what I’ve actually read this year.  Starting school changed my reading priorities considerably and meant that I failed to update this list after August.  Tthe total is 73 if I counted correctly (doubtful) – of course that doesn’t include the 7 trillion articles, chapters, and excerpts I read for various assignments, or the 1000+ pages of student writing I assigned and read. This list is now final.
