Books to Read

What started out as a list of 4 books (some place to keep note so that I could remember when I get back to Umich) has become a list of 52 books I would like to read over the next year or two. This list may change a lot though, but having reached around 30 or odd books, I came to the thought that if I had only a year to live, what would I do?
