50. One more I thought of at work that I can't think of now.

So there it is.

I am currently reading Black Elk Speaks and Memoirs of a Geisha.

I hope to have these finished by the end of this year, but that's over a book a week so I may not make it. And the first part of the list were recommended by the super smart guy at work, so I may not even be able to get through some of those. But I'll give it my best shot.

I'll keep you posted on the progress!
