THERE'S A GAP WHERE WE MEET, WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN

So I've done fuckall this morning and am heading out tonight for a friend's birthday - bar, dinner, drinks at home type of affair. For some reason I felt compelled to make a list of all the books I've covered so far on the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list INSTEAD of gathering quotes from a text for class, because it's just absolutely ridiculous how many titles I've polished over the last few months. And because it's absolutely fascinating how much blog work I can do when I'm lazy rather than course work.
