Constantly in flux. To avoid too much strikethrough, I'll bold what I'm currently reading (usually two sources at once), and you may assume anything above the first bolded line has been read. Many dates are approximate, don't take my word for it. Page numbers are of course variable because they're based on the specific editions I'm reading, but I'm keeping track for fun.
