My To-Read List

I hit the year mark more than a month ago. I feel bad. I've read so many books this year, and now, I can't remember them well enough to write about them.

Anyway, here's something different. Here is the content of my "Books to Read" journal, ordered as it is in the journal itself and excluding the books I have read since writing them down. (I'll put an asterisk next to the ones I don't own, just in case you view this as a Wish List.)
