Well, last year I made a list of books that I owned and hadn't read, or that Dan owned and I WANTED to read. I wanted to read 50 by the end of the year. I read... um... 16. Pathetic.
But! Let's try again. (YES! I know I messed up the numbering, but I think I messed it up enough ways that it all evens out in the end.) Also, on 3/4 I deleted 2 titles (Modern China: A Very Short Introduction and Rickshaw) because I've already read them so they should never have been put on the list in the first place!
