This page is going to be highly incomplete, as I'm starting it in August and trying to recall what I've read over the past 8 months. (Is it really August already?) I include things that I've read most of in 2006, including books I reread after rushing through sections for courses the past semester and books I didn't really read all of, feeling I got the point. It does not include books I stopped reading quickly because I felt they weren't with it.
