Read in June 2018

This is the halfway point of this Book-A-Day year, which would be a suitable time for stopping to think about things, if I had any time or inclination to do that.

(I don't. There will be a big round-up at the end of the year, and that'll be enough.)

I'm still averaging about thirty-five books a month, which is great -- it's clearing out my shelves a bit and sending me to search out things in libraries and bookstores that were only on a vague "look for someday" list. As usual, having structure and deadlines helps get things done: I recommend it to everyone.
