books read: June 2015 through December 2015

Right. Because I’ve been reading a ton—except for November, apparently—but have been really bad about posting these monthly reading lists.

As always, these lists are not comprehensive. I have not included, for instance, books I started reading but didn’t finish, material I was beta reading or reviewing as an editor, and an awful lot of long-form journalism.

Maybe I should start a weekly list of interesting internet reads, but I’m hesitant to make extra work for myself just now.

Anyway, here you go:
