What I'm Reading

When I decided to start a list on my blog of my recent reads, I realized that I like keeping track of what I've been reading.  Unfortunately, that list is getting a bit long.  I thought I would move some of the older titles here, so I could still keep track, and add some additional information about books I enjoy.  I thought I could also link any titles to corresponding blog entries in case I had anything interesting to say about a title while I was reading it.  Please keep in mind, these are just my opinions about the books I am reading for fun, you are welcome to your own opinions.
