I am excited to report that I have read 19 of the books on your list. Woo hoo!!! Possibly 21, because there are two I am unsure about. And one of the 19 is I think because I recommended it and made you put it on your list, but whatever - we will have to discuss the next time we talk. In any case, I'm glad to finally see the whole thing!

Hmmm, which is that? This is just the 2 lists combined, so it still has all the books I've read. Maybe the first list I made didn't have it cause I've read it...?
