2024 Year In Reading

I haven't posted one of these in a while, in part because my reading over the past several years had been too sporadic. For 2024, I didn't specifically plan out much, except for some time I was following along with the the reading schedule (delayed!) of Shelved By Genre, specifically as they read through Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series. Nevertheless, I managed more than I thought I would, and certainly more than I had in previous years, even if some of the reading was very slow. Anyway here's what I read.

  1. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
  2. Whale by Cheon Myong-kwan, translated by Chi-Young Kim
  3. The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin
  4. (Abandoned) En Agosto Nos Vemos by Gabriel García Márquez
  5. The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin
  6. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
  7. Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock
  8. Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson
  9. (Abandoned) Gloriana, or, The unfulfill'd queen : being a romance by Michael Moorcock
  10. The Last Pomegranate Tree by Bachtyar Ali, translated by Kareem Abdulrahman
  11. Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson
  12. Diplomatics: The Science of Reading Medieval Documents – A Handbook by Federico Gallo

I have sort of resolved to read down my pile of Archipelago Books, and am looking at a few standouts published in 2024. I also have in mind to read a bit more nonfiction, which I had almost completely abandoned. As usual, however, we'll see.
