Books to Buy
I am constantly finding books that sound interesting, and instead of jotting them down on bits of paper and then losing them, I figured I'd list 'em here. When not lazy, I'll include the link to the book on Amazon. And hopefully mark 'em off when I get 'em. God knows how bad I am about actually updating the list of books that I own.
