A note...
I started keeping a list of the books I've read in 1999, but as
you might guess, I've been reading for a tad longer than that.
So there are a number of books I've read that aren't listed here.
Also, I haven't really bothered to keep track of the reference
or technical books I read; I don't so much read them as I absorb
snippets of them. Likewise with a number of short story books;
I read them over the course of weeks, months, even years, and so
trying to assign a date to them seems kind of pointless.
So these are the books I've read through in this time. The dates
are the months I finished reading them. When I started is left
as an excercise to the reader. If you're interested in the total
library (which contains books I read before I started keeping track
as well as ones I've not yet read), it is in the library.
