I often speculate on just how much time I do waste reading "useless" books. So this year I decided to make a list of everything that I read. For your added pleasure, I've also linked to the authors I especially respect. Finally, since I have an annoying habit of re-reading old favorites, I've noted books I read for the first time with "NEW". Enjoy!
