The TwentyEleven Challenge

Steph Su introduced me to this challenge, and I think it sounds really fun. Hosted by Bart's Bookshelf, this challenge requires participants to read 20 books in 11 different catagories. I'm going to list the catagories below and then put the books I read under them. For more information, visit the challenge post.
