Fortnightly Books Index 2021

 I intended this year to do more Dickens and Scandinavian literature for the Fortnightly Book. I didn't get very far with the former, but I did have a good year for Scandinavian literature. This year also saw a number of hefty tomes -- Heimskringla, Kristin Lavransdatter, Cecilia, and A Dream of Red Mansions are all quite long -- which cut down on how many books could be covered. I have no idea what 2022 will have in store, but I do have a few more Scandinavian works to do, and would still like to do some Dickens, so that seems likely.
