What to read, that is the question. . .

Last week, I asked for your feedback on what I’d be reading this year. Some of you responded with suggestions and links to lists I should consider. Well, I took your suggestions into consideration and perused your lists and after much thought, I’m unveiling my reading list for 2011. Those marked with a check (√) are books I’ve already read this year. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are books I’m rereading this year.

In no particular order:
