Summer Reading List
Aug. 17th, 2011 10:00 pmA (sort of) comprehensive list of the books I am hoping to read before I move to New York. Broken into categories and listed alphabetically by author (and then by series) for convenience. If an author is not listed, the author is the same as the previous one.
Suggestions for additions to the list are welcome in the comments, but I'm trying to keep this thing manageable so don't be offended if your suggestion doesn't make it.
