I read a lot and write the titles of books read in a little brown notebook kept by my bed! Yes I am of that vintage! Highlights for me from 2023 year have been The Birthday Party Laurent Mauvinger, Mary Ann Imbecile Alice Jolly, Cuddy Benjamin Myers, The Postcard Anne Berest

Such a brilliant book.
