Nearly Everything IJ Read in His 20s - Page 7

This is nearly every book I read in my twenties, excluding rereads and a small number of books I've removed from my list of read books. I'd estimate the true number of books read is closer to 600. The list is in alphabetical order, not reading order.

Compiling this list has been interesting, seeing how much my reading taste has change (and also to a degree has stayed the same!). My hope for the next decade is that I continue to read a diverse range of books from different genres and authors.
