2007 reading list

Here's my 2007 intended reading list. Books I meant to read in 2006 but never got around to, books folks have suggested to me, titles I have jotted down in my journal throughout the year. Granted, this list is quite ambitious for me, but it is nice to have all of my potential reads in one place. And the list will probably keep growing. Feel free to add your own suggestions.
