deadline coming soon... and books, books, books

My deadline for 1001 days is in a few weeks, but I've decided to just keep plugging away at it. I went to a wonderful new park this morning with my dog and I'm making crackers soon, I swear! I assigned myself a reading list of 30 books from 3 lists and my definitions have gotten a tad loose with time. Here are books I have read that I count, even if the Pulitzer is in History instead of Fiction... I get a little extra credit for all of the great fiction I've read just since starting this list, even if it was a little off course.
