All her generation use their brains too scrupulously upon books, seeking meaning rather than letting themselves run on for pleasure which is more or less my way, & thus naturally richest & best.
– Virginia Woolf, Diaries
I.192 (10.ix.1918).
From July 2002 the books cited are comprehensive and articles are cited as occasion warrants. Prior to July 2002, only books read for pleasure are listed. In all lists, items marked with a currency symbol (¤) are academical, while items marked with an inverted question mark (¿) are profoundly stupid — their only redeeming value (assuming they have one) may be their sheer stupidity. (Um, I stopped doing that last one. For obvious reasons, really.)

Starting in December 2006, things changed on the bibliographic front; since my primary occupation is not longer reading, I see no point in highlighting books that I read because I had to – because I don’t, after all, have to read anything, although I like to. What’s the orange text mean, then? It means that the book is either very short, a zine, or a graphic novel. Also, I thought it might be nice to make a few brief notes about what I read, just so’s I can forget it faster.
I also try to keep track of books I would like to read, but I usually forget – or change my mind. Also, you can buy me books if you want to.
