The 50 Books I Plan to Read in 2015

I want 2015 to be a year where I do more intentional reading than I have in the past. As such I have made a list of 50 books I am going to try to read this year (but not necessarily in this order). Some of them are rereads (such as Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia which I intend to read every year) but most I have never read before. I may read some books not on this list (especially those assigned in my current classes) but I intend to read at least these this year. I want to do this every year and then keep a list of what books I read each year so I can look back on the list and see 5-10 years later what I read and when. So what do you plan to read this year?
