Book List, Part 1

As promised, I'm posting a list of all the books I'd like to read next year. I read at a pretty rapid rate, so don't worry, I'll accomplish it! [Especially when I'm at home, in South Florida, I read about ten books a week.]

These are also good suggestions of books to bring to your appointment, in case you can't decide. 

I won't claim to know a lot about all of these books, some I've just heard the name of, some were Jeopardy clues I've missed [I hate missing questions on Jeopardy. I feel like Alex is disappointed in me, since he clearly knows all the answers] and some are actually rereads. My list is going to be 200 books long, hence the title of this post. I want to leave it open for a while, so that if you have any suggestions for me, I can add on. Feel free to email me with any suggestions, I love input. Books are the main source of my education. No class, other than life experience, resounds with me more.

Take a look over the list!
