Meme-ories

I have stumbled upon yet another book meme. Given my current state of spring fever and resulting lack of concentration, I decided to play along. Here are the instructions should you wish to participate:

Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you’ve read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won’t, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you’ve never even heard of.

My list is below.

I work in communications and public affairs. I try to squeeze in as much reading as I can while still spending time with my wife and two kids (and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Michigan Wolverines during football season).
