Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you’ve read, italicize the ones you want to read, cross out the ones you won’t touch with a 10 foot pole, put a cross+ in front of the ones on your book shelf, and asterisk* the ones you’ve never heard of. An equal sign= next to things you haven't read and are ambivalent about reading.
