As I did a year ago, I\u2019m posting a list of books I\u2019ve read for the first time in the first half of the year. If you want to hear what I think about any of them, I am happy to write a report of some kind.\r\n
Circe<\/cite>, by Madeline Miller (Historical\/SF) I may have forgotten some, of course. I am still more or less on track with Shakespeare2020, despite having skipped some of the poems and not re-read all the plays I am familiar with.\r\n I think my favorites so far include A Pale Light in the Black<\/cite>, Paladin\u2019s Grace<\/cite>, The Resisters<\/cite>, Deeplight<\/cite> and perhaps Me<\/cite>. \r\n Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus,<\/I>
