Danny's Book List
Books I've read recently, am reading now, or plan to read soon (these are the ones I actually read, as opposed to leave lying around to impress guests.)
(In addition to regular sedarim in Gemara Masechet Pesachim, Mishnayot Seder Moed, Mishnayot Masechet Sanhedrin, Pirkei Avot, and Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Issur V'Heter.)
