Reading is my vice. Not enough time, too many books :)
My Lindy list is here.
All the rest, are below the handy dandy legend in the next para.
Treat them all as not safe for kids, until you have reviewed or read the books yourself.

Most books are fiction and unmarked
¶ for Lindy books
* for the ones I love
† for most non fiction
‡ for tech / work / study / reference stuff
# for alternate media (like video or audio)
numbers are footnotes
Some book titles might be repeated (in addition to the annual Lindy reads :)
After all, we are what we re-read :)
