Review Requests?

If anyone is interested in a review of a particular book, I'd be more than happy to make one, provided I already own a copy. That shouldn't be too hard, as my library has well over 3,000 books. Here's the Goodreads link to my virtual library, which has most of them.

Have fun browsing, and don't hesitate to drop a note if you're interested in hearing my opinion about a book!
