Ooo, I'm excited. Another amazing list of books (yet again hijacked from the INTJ Open list). But I'd like to point out now, if I never have before in this medium, that I don't really read... I love the concept of books. I love learning from books. I love borowing books, and I love the feel of books. But will I ready any of these? Bet on the No horse.
