Avi's Book Want List

This is a list of books that I want. It is here mainly so that I can reference it from anywhere; I used to have a list on paper, but I would always forget it when I went book shopping. I can't remember on my own, because I so often forget if a book is one that I have or is one that I want. This is an important distinction while trying to decide what to buy in a book store.

This list is also here so that my loving family and friends will know what to buy me when gift giving times roll around.

Current count is: 58 books.
