a booklist.

No, the title of this page is not a lie. I actually do read one thousand words per minute, at least when I was clocked back in eighth grade. I read so much and so fast that I got sick of changing the link on my obsessive page. Instead, I am going to list everything I can remember reading as I go along, excluding work. I have changed my links over from Amazon.com to BookSense, but you can also go straight to the original Amazon -- or visit your local independent. (Thanks to Holt Uncensored.)

I should probably add here that I buy just about all of these non-work books -- I don't get them as freebies. It's important.

If you're interested in reading any of these yourself, let me know. Assuming that I didn't borrow it from the library, we can arrange a trade.
