I don't honestly expect you to read all this. If you do feel compelled to read the entire list, I really must implore you to take up knitting, or perhaps water ballet, as this is a lousy way to spend your free time--not to mention that it's terrible for your eyes.
Mostly, I posted this list as a way to amuse myself (what does this say about how I spend my free time, eh?), and to give you, dear reader, the opportunity to place requests. See a book on here you'd like me to review? Speak up! See a book that's not on here, but that you think I ought to read? Please, tell me!
Now, there's no way for me to compile a really thorough list of what I've read, but I've done my best with what I've got on my shelves...
Bold = they've been reviewed, and you can get 'em off the review list!
