I like your list because it is nice, tight, and managable. I started order books a few days ago and even though I began to read a book that is not on the list yesterday, I’ll probably set it down and get right into my constructive reading as soon as they arrive.

DS, I am such a picky reader. It’s amazing that I am always reading something because oftentimes I pick up something, get 25% through it, and put it down never to pick it up again because I just can’t justify wasting my life reading it. Is that terrible?
I wish I could just finish books I don’t enjoy or like for the purpose of learning something.
Anyway, that’s probably why my list is so short!
