to be read (maybe)

This is a list of books I might like to read. Then again, I might not like to read them. In any case, they are books I though at one time I might be interested in and considered it worthwhile to try to remember. I’m not at all sure that this will be particularly up-to-date when you look at it, but I will try to keep it current.
