Whenever I walk into a bookstore or a library, I have an overwhelming bittersweetness come over me. The joy that so many words mingle together in this one place, creating glorious narratives and emotions and histories; sharing knowledge and advice; striving to entertain and enlighten combines in a moment with the realization that I may read only 1% of all these things and that I will go to my grave having missed so much and I want to cry. I sometimes feel I know why the library at Alexandria must have been torched to the ground.
All that being said, I still have many books on the back burner, and here is an ever increasing list. Let me know if any of these are skippable to make room for another!
