It seems like I haven’t been doing a lot of reading recently, and I miss that. I’m trying to get a decent portion of the list down- I’ll feel better knowing at least part of what I’ll be reading before I really get started- and I want a good mix of classics and other stuff. Should probably add the books I stole from my brother a couple years ago, I carried seventeen books out of his room. A lot of Kurt Vonnegut. :) 3 months ago
