cryfreedom57's "Books I want to read or finish reading before I die"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I have a bad habit of beginning a book, setting it down and not picking it back up for a few months. So here’s a list of many of those books sitting on my shelf that I want to finally get the chance to read, as well as many that have been on my amazon wish list for years. I tried to keep it narrowed down to novels and a few nonfiction books, but I usually gravitate towards nonfiction, so there are a lot more that I’d like to read at some point. This is going to be a massive, ever-growing/changing list.
