My reading
I wish I'd kept a list of every book I've ever read,
like my English teacher at school told me to.
Sadly, I didn't ☹
But starting in April 2010 I started recording them below!
note: I've currently banned myself from reading any more fiction
until I finish writing 'Gender' ... so please don't conclude from this that
I'm reading any less, as I'm doing a lot of writing
The books that I'm currently reading are:
'A Life of Picasso - Volume I: 1881 - 1906' by John Richardson
