Books List by Ranking

I’ve read quite a lot of books! In an effort to make the archives of my blog a bit more accessible, I will try to sort them into readable lists of some variety or another. I might kill this page or change it, I don’t know. Also I might forget to add books as I review them, but I’ll do my best to revisit this page every so often.

The rankings are in chronological order based on when I read them.
