Dr. Greek's Suggested Reading

I'm not positive what I'll read for my report on a book for A&E class, but I've got a list that I obtained from the NAVS site that I may look into. I've provided it for use by other students in the class, too, if they are still looking around for something.

They are organized by theme.
