Books I Want to Read

Here is the list of books I want to read. They are not necessarily in any particular order. Some of them I own, some of them I am planning on borrowing, and others I saw at a bookstore and am planning on going back to buy. Others are on my bookshelf and I have no idea how they got there, but I might as well just give them a shot anyway.

If you have any suggestions or thoughts on books on the list, feel free to let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear what you think and add any books that you think I would enjoy.
