Aaron's Recomendation List
This list is by no means meant to be complete. Instead it is supposed to be
a list of books in the last twenty years that somehow, are more memorable
to me. There are plenty of fun and entertaining books that I do not list
here. These hopefully are a bit more than just "fun".
This has only been HTML-ized rather cursorily. A better version may or may
not come in the future.
