A few years ago I made a rule to never re-read books, since there is just too much interesting stuff out there. In that vein I've decided to give away a bunch of books that I've dragged through four international moves, but was really only keeping for show. I figured I'd start out by recording those books here and then update this post to record other pre-blog reading if I ever get the inclination.
