Books- Lifetime.

Hi, I'm very glad to see you. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. I also podcast at New Market Survival Guide and I ALWAYS appreciate comments. Thanks for visiting--this message will go away after the third or forth time you're here.

Since we’re supposed to ask: is everything you know written down somewhere, to get to a “Yes” answer, we have to look at everything I can remember having read. This will be somewhat erratic. I’ll update as I remember

There are a ton more books that I have read. I’m realizing that I read a lot of crap when I was between 12-17. I’m sure that I’m missing at least 50 books in this list, I have gone to the bookstore and seen a lot. I think I read fast–so does my wife–so it doesn’t take me a long time to consume a book that’s not dense and full of technical information.

I didn’t especially like all of the Xanth books that I’d read, but I didn’t hate them. Same deal with Stephen King and with Harry Potter. At some point, I’ll stick this in an excel sheet so I can get page counts, etc.

I guess I’d like do add 20 more new books by the end of the year.

Note:  This will get embedded at some future point (low priority)…

For now, it’s Here:
