I've been helping Ryan work on his college applications this week. He put together a list of all the books he has read during high school and I was amazed at how much he has read.We all know that Ryan is blessed with a friendly and outgoing spirit, but he also has a studious side. The entire list is below for you to browse.
I just wish he could have a personal interview to apply for college. He is fabulous at oral exams, interviews and public speaking. If anyone has any connections at BYU or BYU-I to get him an interview, let me know!

seriously, that's awesome! I hope to have read that many books by the end of my lifetime! Go Ryan!
WOW! That's a great list of books.. I might have to use that to decide what to read next :) I remember liking War and Peace, but when I think about how long it has been since I read it it makes me feel really old :)
