The traditional end-of-year poll of books read – there are a lot more over on the community if you look.

There is a slight discrepancy between the list below and my own calculation of my end-of-year tally, in that the three Sophocles plays are taken together, as is each of the 2-in-1 Doctor Who books, and the two unpublished manuscripts are not listed. (I’m also still a little uneasy about the categorisation of the Lovejoy novels, which often crucially depend on his supernatural activity to tell real antiques from fakes, but am leaving them with non-genre for now.)

And if you haven’t, please give me recommendations for 2013.
