I <3 books.

In an effort to reach a goal of reading 100 books this year, I have begun a list. Some on here I have read before, but they are super good, so I am reading again... Some are classics, and some are "smart books," that may even teach me a thing or two! Suggestions welcome. I will check them off as I make my way, and update the list as I can remember to...
