Below is the list of almost every book I've read since November 2000,
just before I started college.
Hopefully the list gets less crappy as time goes on and will continue
to do so. Books I actually liked have links to Amazon so you can
read more about
it or get a copy or whatever. (R) means it's a repeat read, and (Audio)
means I listened to it on tape.
