Comments on: Now Available: SE’s Reading List http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6578.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

For example, here's the page showing <a href="http://militaryprofessionalreadinglists.com/users/tom" rel="nofollow">my progress so far</a>. One interesting thing for me has been to see the overlaps in the various lists - for example, Bernard Lewis' "Crisis of Islam" is <a href="http://militaryprofessionalreadinglists.com/search?keywords=crisis+of+islam" rel="nofollow">on the Navy, Marine Corps, and Army lists</a>!

It's remote ancestor is a handwritten list on yellow lined paper I made in sixth grade, which I still have. The current list is about 330 pages long. Unfortunately, it does not have ALL of the books I have already read and already own listed on it. The physical impossibility of doing more than scratching the surface used to depress me. Now I just take it as reality and don't have any emotional response to it. I have been keeping a Word document divided into tables by subject area, for many years.
