in addition to my currently checked out library books, i have these books laying around the house, waiting to be read. most of them are books my aunt says i have to read, either because they're more "culturally diverse" than stuff i normally read or because they're by or about people she finds interesting. some of them were presents from jon, though. (: and some i just bought myself for no reason and haven't gotten around to reading yet. if i italicize it, it means i started it but never finished.
