Sara's "I Can't Possibly Live Long Enough to Read All of This"

In 2000 I started keeping a list of books that I would like to read. Unfortunately, for every one that I completed, I usually added five more, so the list has ballooned quite a bit over the last seven years. In the past I’ve been able to average around 50-70 books a year, but since I’ve had my son, that rate has dropped considerably. If I never added another book to this list I’d probably be finshing it up sometime in my 80s. But even as I added stuff I thought of other books that weren’t on the list yet, hence the title. I decided to put the list on here partly to motivate myself and partly to be able to access the list from any computer. Thanks for checking out my crazy list.
