During this year, I did most of my book reading on an e-reader (Kobo Clara 2nd edition), and the list only reflects these. I'm pleased with having read a book in French, which I also finished while on holidays, adding to the positive memories of it. Using an e-reader was very helpful there - I could look up words I didn't know without having to step out of the book thanks to the in-built dictionaries. + +Early on in the year, I decided I'd try to read some classics from Dutch language writers, and that didn't disappoint. Harry Mulish's /De ontdekking van de wereld/, finished on the last day of 2023, was the best read of the year, although /The lord of the rings/ would possibly have taken that spot had I not read it before. +#+END_PREVIEW + +- *The Lord of the Rings* by J.R.R.
