The following are books that I have read. I am not including comic books - which some lesser book lists do - because I read far far too many to add to this and thus demean the importance of those novels and other printings of note that I have set aside the time to voraciously consume. spudWorks Book Club Members - and registered site visitors - will receive a 10% discount at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble book store in New York City. I do not buy books there, rather I prefer to shop at St. Mark's Books two blocks deeper into my neighborhood, but the good people at B&N were excited to offer such a discount to the spudWorks readers.*
