Author Comments: 

This is an attempt to list all the books I've ever read. Included is everything from children's books, novels, screen/plays, manuals, travel guides, encyclopedias, etc.

What matters is that I'v read all of it from start to finish at least once. Not included is stuff I read regularly, but never finished completely (and when I say completely, I mean it).

Of course this list will probably never be complete as I started reading extensively around the age of four and don't possibly recall everything I've ever read.
