Spring '09 Reading List (a.k.a. Am I insane?!?)

[UPDATE:
June 20, 2009. Check out my "Winners" list here from the books I read.

June 11, 2009. I made it! Whew! Now on to the newest stack...]

Katrina at Callapidder Days has a yearly Spring Reading Thing. You publish your planned reading list, periodically throw in a book review, and at the end of spring, June 20, compare your March fantasy list with the stark reality of what you actually completed.

I'm thinking, "What a great opportunity to clear the shelves! I'll just read books I own but have never read."

But oh my! I failed to realize how many that would be. And that leaves little room for library or borrowed books (only five make the cut).

Oh, well. Here goes anyway...
