Books


This is a blatant ripoff from Maggie's webpage, but I'm not going to let that stop me. The purpose of hers is apparently to show the books that are "part of her;" however, my motive is much more base. I just want to show off how much I've read, and to remind myself of the good books in my life.

So I have compiled this list of books, primarily ones that I have read, but also some that I have partly read or that I intend to read. However, this is by no means a comprehensive list of the books that I have read or that I intend to read. For example, I have heavily abridged the list of books by Terry Pratchett, since there are nearly thirty of them (to be exact, I've only listed the first of the Discworld novels instead of the whole list). Feel free to suggest contributions to the list; I'm always on the lookout for good books. I've also taken the liberty of eliminating all the bad teen books books that I read years ago (as well as the bad adult books I've read recently) that I don't really want anybody to know I read. As Mara says, bad novels have their uses, especially for mental cleansing, but I don't want anybody to know the levels to which I can stoop.

Key:

Books that I have read
Books that I have partly read
Books that I want to read
