Book List
I also have a book list. While I'm not too keen on sharing this because I'm kind of ashamed I haven't read some of these yet, I'm an awfully slow reader so it just takes time.
Unless there's something that's critical, please don't expect me to add anything to this list. Again, I read really slowly. The only exception is if you mail the book to me; then I'll definitely read it. But I read classic literature for fun so I may have read it already, ne. It's kind of painful how slow my reading is considering how much reading I actually do...I read at around speaking pace. Kind of pathetic, really.
Anyway, the list of books I want to read and haven't yet...
