Reading List

Welcome to my reading list. Here I have listed all of the books that I can recall having read. This list will inevitably not be exhaustive, as some books will be forgotten about, or deemed negligible for one reason or another (I'm looking at you, Biff, Chip and Kipper).

Books aren't always easily categorised into sections of non-fiction and fiction, but I've tried to do so here anyway, for the sake of easier navigation.

If anyone cares enough about Bible reading to wonder, I tend to use either the Word on Fire NRSV-CE edition or the KJV translation.

I track my manga reading on my AniList occasionally, if you're more interested in that kind of media.
