Books to Read

I decided that once I'm done with school in December, I'm going to start reading all the books I've always wanted to read, but never had the time and/or motivation for. So I've made a condensed list: Books I want to read before the end of 2013. I figure that gives me enough time and hopefully I'll be able to add in a few more fun ones along the way.

As I go through, I'll return and update this list, striking out the ones I've finished reading.

The List:
