Dit register bestrijkt de periode eind 2005 tot heden (alle wetenschaps- en non-fictieboeken die ik in die tijd heb gelezen), aangevuld met mijn favoriete wetenschaps- en non-fictieboeken uit de periode 1997-eind 2005. Mocht je dan niet genoeg vinden: op LibraryThing staan alle boeken die ik mijn bezit heb en een groot deel van de boeken die ik sinds september 1976 (het begin van mijn studie Engels) heb gelezen. En ja, ik heb inderdaad een boekregistratie-tic. Verder ben ik redelijk normaal.* Een titel met een asterisk is een echte aanrader.
