I'm kind of obsessed with this list of books I created a long time ago for an unclear reason. Perhaps it was before Goodreads came out with place for me to keep track of the things I'm reading but here is a list of things I've read and enjoyed over the years. I know there are a bunch of things left off and some things that are repeats from the previous post....but here it is anyhow.
