My fiction books

This section contains a list of fiction books I’d like to read, and NOT include books related which I consider related to research or non-fiction. This list isn’t contained all what I have read, so I just start tracking my reading progress “recently”.

My special notation for books:

• [ ] Scheduled
• [/] [/] Reading in progress
• [p] [p] Finished reading, good
• [c] [c] Finished reading, bad
• [!] [!] ** Would recommend**
• [-] [-] Cancelled

If the title of the author and book in Cyrillic and there tag this means I read it in Russian language, I also place original book information.

Sections like classic, and sci-fi contains books with my own criteria (not 100% accurate genre).

Books in subsequent sections usually available in my [[my_inventory#|kindle paperwhite]].
