List of Books Read by Author
A to K


Inspired by others' lists, I've tried to compile a list of all the books I've ever read.
This is a reasonably accurate list of the books and authors I have read since the mid-1950's. In earlier years I read a lot of science fiction. Since the mid-80's I've read a preponderence of mysteries, especially private-eye and spy novels. For the most part I haven't included text books (mostly because I don't remember what they were). I know there are a lot of missing titles due to gaps in my memory. I started keeping totals of the books I read in 1985, but didn't start keeping a list of the actual books until 1988.
At one time I had over 5,000 books in my personal library, but I've trimmed it way down due to space.

This list is divided into two sections (A-K and L-Z) to reduce the download time on the network. I have indicated the type of book and the year it was read and have tried to include the period and nationality of the author.
