Finally getting around to posting my 2023 reading list. Pretty paltry number compared to previous years, and this year doesn't look like it's going to be much better, but there's still time. The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald What a Coincidence! by Bernhard Wessling Chocolat by Joanne Harris Dalmatia by Muriel Currey Stamboul Train by Graham Greene Roseanna by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy by Paul Myers A Personal Matter by Kenzaburo Oë The Unrest-Cure and Other Stories, short stories by Saki The Bird’s Nest by Shirley Jackson Frost at Christmas by R. D. Wingfield Fibonacci: A Fictional Autobiography by Daniele Struppa M*A*S*H by Richard Hooker Doctor Pascal by Emile Zola The Strange Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie A King Alone by Jean Giono Someone passed a book of Saki short stories on to me a while back and I absolutely loved them.

Something that kind of irks me about my three recent book purchases above is that they all appear to have AI-generated covers. Shame, as they all share a certain blandness that even bad human cover art would be preferable to.
