****TOTALLY IN SHAMBLES AND POSSIBLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION****
These are to be read by December 31, 2012, or the Apocalypse, whichever occurs first. And here's the list: The ones in bold are permanent and cannot be changed. The ones crossed out have been read. The ones with asterisks are being read. (Yes, I know it is insane to read this many books at one time.) Everything else is subject to whim. A book sent by a publisher for Early Review is automatically permanent.
