So who cares?  Well, you do if you continue reading.  Perhaps a title will catch your eye that maybe you have read or have heard of.  You might even wonder why I read some of the books I read.  On the other hand, where I found some of them or heard of them might interest you.  The list is also for my own use.  People ask me what I am reading or what I have read lately, and I can direct them to this blog.  One of the books on this list is an audio book from LibriVox, The Brothers Karamazov.  I really enjoy listening to books as well as reading them.  I listen while I drive, wash dishes, fold laundry, or other mundane tasks that do not allow me to read an actual book.  For the most part, I read actual books.  These books I own or borrow from my local library.  Sometimes you will see an ebook on my list.  I prefer a book with paper in hand over electronic, but, sometimes I make do with what is available.  The short story section is notable short stories that are excerpts from wherever I can find them.  Perhaps another book mentions them or a random thought makes me look them up.  I might have read them online or in a book format.  The book section I have put in Chicago Manual of Style.  This should make it easy for you to find a copy to read if you are interested. I welcome comments and suggestions.
