Hollis Easter - Books List
This is a bunch of books I have read or am reading. I am commencing its
update. This means writing down a few new things and ditching a bunch of books
that sucked, basically. It also means that stuff is now alphabetized by author.
This will eventually form into the mold of "books I actually enjoyed or found
useful."
