Off the Shelf 2013 Reading Challenge

So this is a blog I created to participate in the "Off the Shelf 2013" reading challenge.  The challenge is: read as many as possible of those old books you've had on the shelf for years.  I've named this blog, servants of the map, because reading these books feels like a bit of a journey and because I love maps. 

While I will probably be happy to make it to 15 of these this year, these are all of the possibilities.  Let the trek begin...
