Change to the List

After much consideration, I'm dropping Catch-22 from my reading list. It's one of my favorite books and I've already read it in the neighborhood of 4-5 times. I don't think that there's much to be gained by a re-read at this point in the context of this project. There are plenty of other books out there. In it's place, I'm adding White Noise by Don DeLillo. I've heard plenty of excellent things about DeLillo over the years and yet I've never read any of his work. This novel made Time magazine's list of top novels since 1923 (what Time refers to as all-time). So it's the new addition.
