To Read

This is just another of my many “to read someday” book list. In no order (yet) and no categorical breakdown (also yet). It’s simply the ones I have yet to start (or re-start as the case may be) that I’ve found, or heard of, or read about. It’s ever-changing, and I am probably forgetting many. It might get organized some day, because I’m weird like that, but just not today. It will span genres, from the “real-good-super-smart-we’retalkingLITerature” kind of book, to the “guilty-pleasure-escapist-sci-fi-nerdy-novel.” I like ‘em all. The ones in bold are the ones I already own.
