Books Ron Read in 2002
Comments on the Year 2002
I read more books in 2002 than in 2000, but not many (if any) more
than in 2001; although I was either home writing or technically
unemployed most of the year, I had a temporary full-time job from
roughly May through August. I hope to write more comments on
individual books soon.
A year in (parentheses) is the book's publication date; a date in
[brackets] is the date I finished the book.
