Reading is something I love but am incredible lazy at. As a way to motivate slash intimidate myself to read more, I drew up a list of 32 books to read before I turn 33.
This list includes stuff I've had on the shelves for years, classics I've never read, things I've heard are good, highlights from Donald Barthleme's syllabus, books that just looked interesting when researching on Amazon.
It's all fiction. That's where I want to focus.
These are in no particular order, but updated with an order as soon as I finish them. The list is likely to change per my whim, and I'm very whimmy. Crossed out things mean I've finished them, blue ones mean I'm currently reading. (List started Nov 7, updated Nov 26)
