About meMost of my reading since college has occurred at airports, on airplanes, in hotel rooms. I'm relearning to read at home.

I want to read all the classic books that I might have read in college had I majored in English instead of Finance. I find this strategy to be hit (Moby Dick) or miss (Sound and the Fury).

I want to read all the bestsellers that have a chance at becoming new classics. I find this strategy to be hit (Kavalier & Clay) or miss (Atonement).

I hate reading hardcover books. I despise reading mass market paperbacks. I refuse to read books with movie tie-in covers.

I’d like to learn to read with the tv on.

About my libraryThese are all the books I've read since the fall of 2001.
