Book of the Week - Book Lists

For grad school I have to read a 120 count reading list. Not only do I have to read these books in a little over a year, but I there are also the books I want to read for fun, for papers, for my thesis, as well as the occasional adult book. I have read a lot of great books in the past 5 months and here is a list of all of them in alphabetical order by author. Some of these I had read before, but there is a large difference reading a book for fun and reading it for the analysis. I have starred the books that I really enjoyed though.
