Books read 1940 to 2018 (Alphabetical) 1 of 52

Books read by Peter between 1940 and 2018 (Alphabetical List)

The list was compiled from a list begun in a notebook in 1969. From 2006/7, the list was continued in a file

on the HP organiser and subsequent smart phones, backed up on my PC. The earlier entries from 1940 to 1969

were obtained by trawling through all the books in the house, and comparing with the later digitised entries.

*** Many thanks to Patricia for her enthusiasm and help***

The list includes - biographies, histories, novels, the arctic, mountains, sailing, trains, travel and adventure.

The list does NOT include - chemical, mathematical, computing and air quality and other scientific texts,

hand and reference books, travel guides, etc., or school, town and Uni. library books

read in the period before 1969.

The dates including months - are from the written book lists made from 1969 - 2007, and the computer file from 2006 to the present.

The dates with just years - are estimates made from memory for books from the shelves, mainly for books between 1940 to 1969.

They correspond roughly to the periods:

1940-45, Primary school; 45-51, Grammar school; 51-53, AERE Harwell;

53-56, Birmingham; 56-59, Cambridge; 59-61, Princeton; 61-69, Keele.

The Notes - are taken from the original lists and were mostly made when the entry was made.

"Remembered" - denotes book not in the lists nor on the shelves, but simply recalled; mainly for childhood books.

"re-read" - was a recollection of having read the book earlier; if the earlier read was itself in the lists,

then there will be more than one entry for the book.

The star ratings *, **, *** - were mostly made with the entry. They are sparse, mainly made in later years and hardly systematic!
