On his website, Art Garfunkel has a fantastic feature called Library. It's a list of every book he's read since 1968
and includes the title, author, and year of original publication for
said books, as well as a list of his favorites. (Unfortunately, it ends
in 2009.) I liked this so much I decided to make one of my own. So here it is, starting with my reading
for 2011, when I began keeping track for my first website, What We Covet. Every month, I'll update it to reflect my most recent literary
experiences; rather than include the year, I'll include the genre. Some
authors' names are linked to their websites. I encourage you to read as
many of them as you can and enjoy yourself along the way!

NB: A few books are missing due to my erratic record keeping. Also, I will omit titles that I've reading for the second (or third, or fourth) time so only new-to-me titles appear!
