31 books this time round, 11 of them rereads (marked by asterisks).  Technically speaking, Siva! wasn't a reread -- what I read back in the '60s was The Lost Millenium, the original version; no idea what differences there might be between the two.

I set out to read all of the "1632" books I hadn't read yet (or at least as many as I could get my hands on -- the public library here has most of the books published by Baen, but none of the Ring of Fire Press books.  However, it had been eight and a half years since I read the first few books in the series, so I decided to just (re)read all of them.  (Wiki lists a total of 68 published thus far, assuming I counted correctly, with two more to be published in April and May.)  This, of course, has made Flint the most-read author and AH the most-read subject of the quarter, not to mention the remainder of the year.


Edited 17 May 21 to change the category of the 1632 books from "AH" to "1632".
