list of books i own

books i knew at the very least in my childhood or around my middle/high school days. they are books that i had been in the know and have wanted to finish or read (but also maybe didn't take an interest in finishing it) as a kid (or at least growing up). i have plans to make this a sub backlog series even though nowadays i dont know if i really do want to read some of these books.
