Get To List for Books.

Bored?  Maybe try reading something new.


Books I read in: 2020, 2021

I see no need to continue making that public information, so I don't.  

Back when I used to make lists of what I might read next, I gathered the following books (re-organized  as I close up shop -- so this is now a dead list).
