My ideal goal is to read at least one book a month, on average, or 12 per year. (Yay success in 2018, 2020-2022.) I've been very bad at this goal before but still have it. This is a mostly most-recent-first sorted non-exhaustive list of books (sometimes papers or short articles too) I've read with short 'reviews' or thoughts. There are spoilers since this list is mainly meant for myself. At the end there is a non-exhaustive non-sorted list of books I'd like to read before I die.

I may eventually sort these by subject as the list or my desire to procrastinate grows, and maybe go through change logs and memory to try and annotate when a book was actually read -- maybe even add all the books I read before I started this log, even if I don't recall the plot very well. Finally, here's a link to my Amazon Wish List in case you're looking for gifts. ;) http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/225QQLO3JIGTL
