My booklist

This is at least 5 years old and hasn't been updated in a long time.

I have many books to add and this isn't cross-linked to my reviews at all.  For the moment I have some scripts I need to finish updating before I can update this page.  About 5 hours of work, but I have other things I want to complete before then, so for now this will have to stand as-is.  It wasn't ever a complete list back when I made it, just a 'pretty good'(tm) sampling.
