Red's reading list


Note: So I decided a while back that I would log all the books that I've read. The problem being is that I don't remember all the books that I have read. There are two for sure missing from this list where I remember plot points of the story but can't recall titles or authors. They might come to me sometime. I am also sure there are more novels that I read in school, but its really a stretch to remember all of those. I also know I've read most of the Shakespeare's histories, but its hard to keep the Richards and Henrys straight. Just thought this was worth sharing. Updated 8-20-18
