Novel Reading in 2022

Following my annual practice, I have listed here my “novel” reading for 2022. This is a way of documenting what I get through in a year’s worth of reading on the commute to work, in the evenings after work, and while travelling outside of my “normal” academic reading. My use of the term “novel” reading is loosely adopted, as you will see from the list to include fiction and then really important non-fiction work I get excited to read in my spare time. As you will see, my novel reading shifted away from novels to much more academic reading in my “free time”. But that approach has been richly rewarding.

2)   Larry McMurtry, In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas [1968] (Liveright, 2018).
