Looks like I should just start at almost the top and go down the list. First stop, hopefully getting someone else's library card so I don't gotta pay 200 dollars in fines. Wait, who's gonna give me their card after hearing I have that amount wracked up on there? Good thing I thought of that, now I know which part to not mention! Or maybe I'll just imply that it's lost and, they hate my race!

It's organized already. You just need to bold the subject names so it is a little easier to read.
Jesus: Yeah, I'm pretty much expanding my book collection per this list.
I'd get bored reading about the same subject for months on end but I agree.

City of Thieves by David Benioff
