My Reading List for Interim 2007

So I skipped interim to play music and see some more of the midwest with my friends--part of my justification for such a move was that I could use the extra time (before and after the trip) to read and write. The writing is still in progress (that is, I've almost decided to begin something). The reading looks a bit like this:
