Reading
Only books William Fagus has enjoyed or admired are here.
William only finishes around a quarter of the books he begins.
Some of those have endangered passers-by by being thrown out of the window.
The book I liked most last year was The Overstory by Richard Powers.
The book I've liked most this year is American Serengeti by Dan Flores.
