Archived reading list for 1997. Key and current reading list is here.
Note that I only started this list in September 1997 - I learned to read long before! (I was definitely an avid reader by age 7, in 1981, and probably long before). But the world-wide web didn't arrive until the 90s, and I didn't have this idea until 1997. Hey, that's just the way it goes.
