Total count: 17 -- not as shameful as I anticipated. And taking another leaf out of Linden's book (watch out! Your book may soon be leafless!), I'm open to suggestions! (Endorsements for stuff I've already italicized is also more than welcome). I hope to do lots of reading this summer to make up for how little reading I did in college and how little I anticipate doing in med school (sigh). And I'm less wary of off-the-list suggestions, methinks ;)
