Books to be Read in 2007 (So Far)

These won’t be read in this order; I just want to keep track of how many books are on my list. I would like to read 100+ books this year, but if I get to 52 I will be satisfied. Finished titles are crossed out. Titles moved to 2008 are asterixed.

Note: I had to move some titles to 2008 to accommodate different titles for various challenges. Those are asterixed with a new book replacing its “number”.
