Librarian by Day

My reading list for the summer of 2013, there are over 30 books on this list. It is unlikely I will read them all. It is likely I will read books that are not on this list. Some of these books I have already read, or read portions of, but would like to reread all or part of.

The books are no particular order. Some of them are related to my library interests, some are related to my political science interests, some to my communications interests, and some are just general interest. Enjoy 🙂
