Readings in Retirement: A Progress Report

I retired from teaching English Literature in 2022, and since then I have read or listened to only books I wanted to as opposed to books I was required to read or reread for work, as well as the teaching materials that accompanied them. Here, in the order in which I read or listened to them, are the books I've "experienced in the 2 years and 3 months since I retired.
