Reading
So, I'm looking for something else to read after I finish The Bourne Ultimatum. I decided to look up what people have considered were the top 100 books to read in ones life time. In my search, I came across CollegeBoard's top 101 books recommended for college-bounds readers. I was amused so I'm going to list all the books I've read before college (*), and all the books I've read after college (bold).
