Since we’re in the process of leaving Arizona, I post here for the wide world to rebuke me, a list of the books I have read while in Arizona.

I look, I despair, I faint.
I realize there is an infelicitous phrasing in the opening. I was posting this list in order to invite the rebuke of the whole world, not in order to rebuke all living human beings.
Well, Lauren, I shall have to join you in despair.
