Between recommended readings from class, suggestions from friends, and stray pick-ups along the way, I’ve accumulated a stockpile of presumably excellent books that I’ll probably never make it through during the school year. This is evidence by a number of bookmarks in these novels, typically around page 60, but I’m starting from page one unless it was a recent failed endeavor. I recognize that in all likelihood I won’t finish a third of these, but at the very least, it’s good to have a literary to-do list for future use, as well. And if I actually read all of these, rest assured there are more possibilities.

As expected, this list is subject to change and to gross negligence.
