Books, Books, and more Books

So after sharing books with friends for the past few years, I have come to the conclusion that a good list of all the books I have read along with recommendations would be beneficial to those that I borrow books to so that they can carouse the full list.
I have my books organized based on genre.
The different general genres include Biographies, Christian Theological and Apologetics, Economics, Fiction, Congo, maps, and History among other randoms.
Not all of these books I have read but I will work to add recommendations and whether I have read them or not.
