Book List
Jul 4, 2016
Here is my list of every book I have ever read—the ones I can think of at least. I'm sure I'm missing a whole bunch, but this is a good stab at remembering. This list consists mostly of fantasy and science fiction novels (because that's the cool nerdy stuff). I haven't included boring stuff like any text books I have read, or any of the awesome comic books I have read (over and over). I also included the books I could remember from my childhood, so yeah, there are some 5th grade reading level stuff here such as Roald Dahl, but I also tackled Prisoner of the Horned Helmet in 5th grade too. Additionally I would like to note that even though I'm a bit of a completionist, if a book doesn't grab me in a hundred pages or so I will typically stop reading it with no regrets.
I'll do my best to maintain this list as I move into the future and experience more awesome (and some not so awesome) literature. I'll also try to update this when I think of more books I have read in the past. Finally I would like to give a few shout outs, these books are absolutely incredible and I highly recommend you read them: Shōgun by James Clavell, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, Endymion by Dan Simmons (make sure you read the other three books in the Hyperion Cantos as well – they are all outstanding!), and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams.
