Book Lust/List for 2013
Last year, I made this post, largely for my own use at times of
bookbuying and it helped me minimize my excursions at bookshops. Due to a
combination of self-restraint, lack of availability of the books and tight
finances, I didn't manage to clear that list out. So I have updated it for this
year. Lets see how this year goes.
