Books
I thought I had a page about books I owned or was reading, but I
guess this was not the case. Here I will list books as I'm reading
them, or those in the "short queue". Once I've finished them, I
will move them into the "Read" section. If I feel moved to, I may
add comments. So, without further ado:

Books I decided were too boring to read
Barry, Dave - All the Dave Barry You Could Ever Want (includes Dave Barry's Guide to Marriage and/or Sex, Dave Barry's Babies and Other Hazards of Sex, Dave Barry's The Taming of the Screw, and Dave Barry's Claw Your Way to the Top). I read the first book in this and then skipped around a bit and decided I really didn't want to read the rest, so I'm shipping it off to Mike. [former own]
Karcher, Stephen - Ta Chuan: The Great Treatise (The Key to Understanding the I Ching and Its Place in Your Life) [lib]
Rowley, J. K. - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I read the first couple chapters, let it sit for two months, then decided (with the help of Carl) to just skip it, since it was so uncompelling.
