Books
I read a lot.
A lot a lot.

I'm always working my way through at least one book, often two or three. I have trouble not buying more until I've finished with the ones I'm working on.
With that in mind, here's the set of books I will read, in no particular order. I've also included books I recently did read. That's also not in any particular order. After all, sets aren't ordered... And finally, there are the books that I am reading right now.
This isn't anywhere near a complete list of everything I own. That's huge, and lives in Delicious Library rather than on the web.
