Bookworm

I am a list maker.  I often find myself adding 5 things to the list for every one I check off.  I am a bookworm.  I read somewhere around 70-80 books a year, which means I keep a long list of books to read.  If I was a librarian or worked at a book store I would probably be fired for reading instead of doing my job.  I need more life to live so I can read all the books. 

In no particular order, and not sorted by any genre, here is my latest list of BOOKS TO READ:
