It's literally a thread about what OP is *going to* read, not what he's already read. That's literally what "END OF '16-2017 READING LIST" implies.

Thanks anon. I've been mulling over how I could've been more clear in my OP. Glad to know that /lit/ isn't so "lit" afterall :^}
Posting because I would like suggestions. Anything I should take off/put on the list. Is it reasonable to assume that I'll be able to pull it off?

OP here...also trying to learn to code this year as well. Getting my feet wet with HTML/CSS. Any tips? Need a fallback in case this whole "English major" thing doesn't pay out.
>>8744482
HTML/CSS is not really programming as it is more of a declarative language than a programming language.
For tips, go on Coursera, take some courses that you find interesting. Focus on building a portfolio. Maybe get a wordpress to mess around web dev and pulgins. Good luck.
Also I think that you already have enough books to start the year safely.
For December, you have two very short books (<300 pages in total). Maybe add something, or prepare to start The Iliad earlier.
