MY RELISHED READS OF 2017

(A Stand-Out Read)


In 2017 I read 660 publications as follows:

Poetry or Other Genre by Poets: 606 
Art: 7 
Fiction: 35 
Others: 12 

The poetry number is inflated by manuscripts I read for two poetry contests. But numbers still reflect an increase; here’s a comparison with prior year would show, with 2nd number being 2016 reading

Poetry or Other Genre by Poets: 606 / 405
Art: 7 / 13
Fiction: 35 / 39
Others: 13 / 21

[Notes are not comprehensive; I've got some parenthetical thoughts but it doesn't mean anything if I'm silent on the book.]

IF A FILIPINO WRITER READS DON QUIJOTE: THREE LECTURES by Alfred Yuson, Vicente G. Groyon and F. Sionil Jose (Late to this book and the 400th anniversary of Don Quijote – it’s a paradoxical project, given the *labor* required to find links between “the world’s greatest novel” and canonical Filipino writing. And I confess to being amused by said labor, that lapses (cough) to “humor” being the link. But it’s all benign. And kudos to Senor Miguel de Cervantes – it’s the rare writer with an “Institute” promoting their works 400 years after their works were writ.)
