Not Slacking . . . Much

For those of you who didn't think I had a good reason for disappearing during the last few months. When I said I needed to read, I meant it. Keep in mind the fact that I wrote at least a page for almost all of the books for class.
A list of the books I've read since January - * indicates I didn't finish the book but plan to, + indicates I had already read it (so I probably skimmed it.):
