My Lifetime Reading List

This is my Lifetime Reading List. I really want to be well read and well rounded in my reading choices. There is a little more intentionality here. As a personal challenge I will be reading 30 min a day a book from this list. There are a few open slots for categories I might have missed.

(I have also marked categories for completion at 5 books. I think reading 5 books in a category is more than good enough to claim a general knowledge of it for my purposes. I will grow this list as I read and update with what I've already read. )
