Now that I am approaching my graduation date I wanted to take a moment to reflect on four years of undergraduate study. I was inspired by Dan Allosso's index of books to think about all of the books I've had to read in my college classes. Though one day I may expand on them as Mr. Allosso has, I figured a list would suffice for now. Thankfully, for your eyes and mine, I'm not going to list all of the articles I read from academic journals.
