Though this list is not as diverse or long as I hoped it would be, it's always good to look back. Some books were recommended by friends; others were required for school or grad school. Still others just happened to be ones I had around my house or that I happened to pick off the shelf due to their names, covers, or authors...

I feel that readers can find so much joy and wisdom from the pages of books. It looks like I'll be reading into 2018 with St. Augustine's Confessions, but after that my recreational reading will depend on grad school, so we shall see...
