Reading Book List

Reading Book List

 I've started to get back into actually reading books and so I'm creating a list of books I'm reading and intend to read.

The genres I'm currently focusing on are classics and science fiction classics. There's a few behemoths in here that I see referenced all the time (Tolstoy; Dostoevsky; Alexandre Dumas) and I think I'll try and chip away at them while reading a smaller one at the same time just to bread it up a bit.
