While my wife has been out of town, I decided to knock out some books that I’ve started, but yet to finish. I have a nasty habit of reading a small portion of a book, and then buying another one that looks exciting and doing the same thing. So, I’ve committed to stop buying books until I finish the ones I have. Some of these are re-reads and some are first-timers. Here’s the list of books I plan to tackle:
(I would normally feed the OCD side of me by alphabetizing the list, but I’m tired. So you get the “as I took them off the shelf” version).
