Soooo. That's quite a few books more than last year. The list doesn't include stuff I've read for school:
Shakespeare - King Lear
Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness
Graddol et al. - Changing English (x4)
Yule - Pragmatics (x4)
Melchers and Shaw - World Englishes
+ miscellaneous items of literature, such as Swift's A Modest Proposal and excerpts from Beowulf
The Graddol book and the Yule book were entrance exam books, hence why I've read them so many times. Have to say, Changing English is actually very interesting, not to mention useful in my line of study.

I'm not gonna add pictures just now, maybe later.
At the moment I'm contemplating on buying all the three books by Stevermer and Wrede, but maybe I'll just start with buying the third one, since it's not available in the libraries.

I just watched the Serpent's Kiss for the second time after buying it, and I love love love love it. It's still wonderful, and I've probably seen it about ten times. ^^

That's all folks!
