I don't know whether to separate read from on-deck reading in any of these bibliographies. There was a day when I could say that I had read 90 percent of what I had shelved, but between the acquisition of good books cheap (thrift hunting), inheritance, and some profligate spending in the arena, that's no longer true. Moreover, if I have read it past a couple of years, memory has done much to let it go, although I may note that I have found the opening of Malraux's Man's Fate a familiar scene (because I had read it long ago, and it must have made quite an impression).
