*Isaac Salazar’s beautiful books of art.
In 2011, I started to work my way through a list of authors I’d never read before, alphabetically. This was because, as I explained here, I loved reading fiction, but had forgotten how to really enjoy it through years of academic study. I didn’t stick to the list too much, as I also read any book that had a siren song call to me – the books that demanded to be read instantly. Here’s some of the reviews of the Unread Alphabet I’ve given so far, and the list that I’m working through. Any further recommendations or suggestions are very welcome!
