Speaking of Books

I spent a few hours the other day going through every book I've ever read since I graduated College in 1999. I had kept a written log of everything I've read (Novels) from 199-2004 and then I got lazy. I was able to piece together most of everything I have read since then, but I'm sure I'm missing many books. Unfortunately Blogspot does not allow you to attach an excel document so I will attempt to just copy/paste everything below. As you can see, I have a very broad spectrum of books I enjoy from classics, to horror, to post-modern literature to comedy. Enjoy at your own risk and feel free to ask me about any since I love discussing books as much as I do movies and TV. Please excuse the horrible formatting :
