As always, input is appreciated.  I shall simply list, in alphabetical order, the books I read this year.  Keep in mind that I have a busy year ahead of me so if I don’t get to a book you suggested it’s probably because I have to read the complete works of Herman Melville (no joke!) this spring, finish two semesters of grad school, including teaching, and write a thesis this year.
