More books

I contrived a reading list on at the close of December of 2008. I didn't complete it but I did add some variations to the list that I was planning on reading. Over the two years since I have put this list together (a result of my lack of control when it comes to shopping at book stores) I managed to read my way through a twenty book series and maintain my stand of not finishing the Harry Potter series until all of the movies have been screened. Below is my book list extended with the extra books I've read as well as those I am now planning to read.

In an effort to keep this relatively short I'm going to wrap this up here. I'll do a follow up containing the complete list of books that I'm planning on reading in the months to come. I will also note that I have found only one book that goes against my belief that the book is always better than it's movie counterpart. And on that note, goodnight.
