2003 Books

I seem to have done this for the past couple of years, which, in today's fast-paced society, I guess qualifies it as being a tradition. So, here we go: a list of the books I read in 2003. (I was going to make the titles into Amazon links so you could go see what they're about if you like, but I was too damned lazy. I'm sure you can go and use the search engine if you're curious.)
