Completist Reading

I suspect this will be a lengthy journey. I’ll be attempting to read the complete works of these authors or genres. The list will consist largely of novels and selected non-fiction. Some will be difficult to source due to them possibly being out-of-print. This is also a list in progress.

I got this lovely idea from Lizzy’s book blog.
