UPDATED: The Top 20 Books I Want to Purchase to Read

I am in between reading material right now, but thought I would stay as close as possible to the theme of reading books. So here goes.

I have a “Most Wanted Book” list that has served as a Christmas wish list over the years and even a place I can refer to when I want to buy some new books. I should also say that these books don’t necessarily represent books that I believe will become “my favorites” as some point, but just books I want to read for a number of different reasons.

Instead of sharing the whole list with you, which probably has around 150 books, here are my top 20 most desired books (in alphabetical order).
