Non-techical books I read in 2016
The table ends with 2016-08-08 for I haven't finished yet The History of England by David Hume--it's a huuuuge book (or actually a 6 volume set); currently I'm at 71%, it's the reign of Charles I, the year is 1628. I should finish the last volume before the end of February.
