Year End Lists
The season of reflection is upon us and so here I will post my lists of books and movies that I have consumed this year. It made an interesting exercise to know that I would be posting these publicly. So in the following posts, you can see what sort of media have passed into my mind, as well as how long it took me to read various books, my rating of movies, and what times of the year inspired more media binges. But in this time of scads of year end lists, you are welcome to briefly peruse it for your own favorites. Enjoy!
