Above: Primo Levi at his desk
In 2016, I read a total of 39 books. As best as I can determine, of these books...
- 32 were written by men; 7, by women
- 35 were written by white authors; 4, by authors of color
- Of the non-white authors, 3 were Black and 1 was Latino
- 34 were originally written in English; 5, in a language other than English
- Of the books translated from a language other than English, 1 was originally written in German, 1 in French, 1 in Russian, and 2 in Italian
- 15 were fiction; 24 were non-fiction
- 23 were books I read for the first time; 16 were books I had read at least once before
