  1. There are some awesome books in that list. I wish you had numbered them or told us how many there were. I counted 107, excellent! I wish I had kept track of all the books I have ever read...what an awesome number that would surely be! One millennial asked me, "If you don't watch TV and you don't drink, what on earth do you do for fun?" We are in so much trouble with the future of our world. God help the non-readers!
