Read in 2019

Today is the last day of 2019, and it is unlikely I'll finish another book before the ball drops tonight, so here is 2019's tally.

Twenty-six books. Down from last year's tally of 35.

As usual, some are school related - either because we are reading the book (the Chaucer one) or because they are related to books we read in class (the Twain books, for example, or The Horse and His Boy).

Some are Chesterton-related, either directly (Magic, Manalive, Tremendous Trifles) of Chestertonian friends like Pearce.

Some are books that's I've wanted to read, and finally got around to them (Saint Odd, the Oedipus plays, for example.

Some are topical and religious. And some are just for fun.

I wonder what I'll read next year? If I do retire in June, the count may go way up!
