Books

I decided to keep a tally of what I've read this year, and what I plan to read. If nothing else, I hope it amuses you. But I do hope it inspires you. I'll republish periodically. Incidentally, if you have questions about any of these, it's probably best to email me, since comments will probably be lost when I republish.
