The Leisurely Reading Hit List
(June 1, 2000) Here we go again! Another school year out, another stab at reading these books. Look for some "books read" on this list shortly...but also keep an eye for new additions. Trust me, there will be some.
Books are listed in alphabetical order, but the order in which I'm reading them is not. Finished books are moved up to the top of the list. E-mail enquiries to yours truly. Updated on June 1, 2000. [Updates]
Check out Donny's Reading List! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
