Rather than complicate matters by listing every single book my eyes have ever met, the following are books that I have either finished reading in the past few months (June 2007 - present), or that I am currently reading (or next in line to read).

Books with reviews are those I have just read.

Hey! Are you back in the US? Let me know... we'd love to see you. I haven't
logged on here in a while, and I love that "The Abs Diet" is on your shelf, amongst
all of the other erudite selections. How are you, my friend? Can you believe it's been
10 years since Burgos? XO and love to your family.

Great. Congratulations on your son, I'm sure he is beautiful. Michelle and I are having another boy in Feb. I tried calling you months back after you called us and I think that I was too late. I just got an answering machine. Somehow I knew that we would never really loose contact. Send me some pictures of your family. I am still at dwilliamwagner@yahoo.com
