More about my book list.


 
I would like to make my book list even more perfect by having each author listed only once. Right now, nine of the 93 books I've listed are by just two authors:  Willa Cather (top, five novels) and Edith Wharton (four novels). George Orwell accounts for three titles, and the following authors each have two novels on the list:
John Updike
John Galsworthy
James Baldwin
James Joyce
James Salter
Jack Kerouac
Carson McCullers
Aldous Huxley
F. Scott Fitzgerald
 
If my math is right, and it often isn't, I think that means I have to remember 18 other books I've read in order to make every name appear just once on the list. Oh joy! I can now spend more hours checking lists of books and the dates published to make updates to my list.
