Tingamarra porterorum

I have been neglecting this blog, but has it really been five years since I updated my reading/watching lists? Yes it has. So here's what I read and watched in the year 2013.

Once again, numbered entries ("B1") were books/movies I had never read/seen before. Italicised entries with an a/b/c appended ("B1a") were books/movies I re-read/watched, for pleasure or punishment. The list is in the order that I finished each.
