The List
Here it is, folks. The reason we’re all here. Dan’s List of Books He Purchased and Has Yet to Read. Or, to be a little more concise, “The List”.
As of November 4th, 2020 there are 171 titles on this list. I have sorted this by the date purchased and will add a date when I finish each book, along with a rating and a link to my thoughts.
If you’re interested in my rating rubric, you can read about that as well.
