the book list

Goal #11- read everything on the book list.

(Please note that this is not a “recommended reading” list. I expect the majority of these books to be good if not great, but I’m sure I’ll give some of these books shitty reviews & wont even complete others. Getting through the book list is just one of my goals.)

Completed books link to their short review.
