 | 11:06 am - Must-Read Stories
As promised, here's a list from the Must-Read Stories panel which was in 201 on Saturday from 7-8. My notes were not complete, so I'm sure I've missed many books that were mentioned at the panel; I hope that other panelists and attendees will fill in what I've missed. I'm also including stories on my list that I didn't have time to mention.

Looking over the list, I can see that we easily could have gone twice as long without doing justice to the topic. Please consider this just a "starter" list - I, for one, could easily add dozens more to it.
I enjoyed doing the panel very much - thanks, everyone! You were all great.
