By gender
33 by women, 32 by men, 2 by K J Parker and one by Poppy Brite
By genre (with some crossovers)...
10 SF
26 fantasy
3 historical
8 crime / thriller
6 YA
2 non-fiction
12 for Coursera courses [though I haven't included the fragments of Aeneid, Homeric Hymns, various tragedies]
Top Six
Ragnarok: The End of the Gods -- A S Byatt
Among Others -- Jo Walton
The Magician King -- Lev Grossman
Deep Ancestry -- Spencer Wells
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms -- N K Jemisin
Runelight -- Joanne Harris
The Left Hand of Darkness -- Ursula Le Guin (never mind that it's the latest of many rereads)
I'd normally also note number of books purchased, but that's becoming less accurate as I tend not to add e-books to LibraryThing until I get around to reading them.
