Book Lists, Old and New

All,

I am both a book-o-phile and a list-o-phile, so book lists tend to
make me giddy. Here's a list of books I'll be reading, skimming,
reviewing, or flipping through in the next 18 months or so.

Subject matter is wide-ranging, from philosophy, information science,
political science to feminist sci-fi, American literature, ethics,
lit-crit, bookchat, and activism. Some are no longer in print. A few
of these are clearly (for me, anyway) remedial texts, ones I'm rather
ashamed not to have read at this point (the DuBois in particular).

I'm working on a MF essay about reading lists, and I'm interested in
what our readers think. Do you keep book lists? Have a book list or
book titles you'd care to share? Send it to [email protected]

Best,
Kendall Clark, <kendall-4GNy1lrxftmrG/[email protected]>
