This is an index by author of all of the books I've read, logged, and commented
on since September 2000. For several years (about January 2001 to September 2003),
I only logged books without commenting on them or reviewing them, so those books
are not indexed, though the plain lists of what I read are available from the
archives page, organized by year and month.
The categories are based on my database and its somewhat idiosyncratic cataloging
system. Some books are listed under more than one category.
