Now this list is just a moment in time, and subject to change. I often put books on hold and then take them off after giving the book a bit more thought. "Do I really want to spend my precious, limited time left in my life reading a book simply because it was recommended by someone I don't even know?" Also, once the book is in my hands and I give it a flip through I sometimes realize it's just not for me and off it comes from my list. Life is too short to waste it on books that I won't enjoy. Also, if I've waited for a really long time I sometimes lose interest in reading a book.
