Below is a list of books or author's works who I want to eventually read. My list originally lived in my phone's notes app, in a .txt file on my computer, in my photo stream via pictures of covers in book stores when I didn't have the money to buy them (never to be returned to), sprawled on notes from my friends recommendations... - in short, in mind bleeding mind. These loose orphans deserve a home! So they live here now, so I can't forget about them: someone else is doing the remembering. Thank you computers!
