Remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall?

Revised to the point of being only one new book crossed off. That will change very soon. This list will grow shorter; you will see.

I have disowned The Red and The Black as for right now. I have left off at 2/3 of the book finished, and will finish reading it when the rest of this list is finished. It will be my last book of the year, and hopefully it won't suck as much then.
