Dear Reader:
Contained here is my 2016 book list, a list of all the books I read this year. It includes some great books and some not so great books. Some of them were quite informative, some of them were not. Some are fiction, some are non-fiction, some are really good books and I recommend them, some I recommend caution in reading.
