Reading/Movie List: The Twilight Zone

Because I finally got off my butt and wrote down my reading/viewing material for the final semester of college...this covers the brief transitional period before I switch the lists from school years to calendar years.  As such, I had no target reading/watching goal, and it's a good thing since I was buried up to my neck in reading for class, and it was all I could do keep pace with assigned books and movies.  And of course, the ten days between the end of the semester and the end of the year were a bust since I was busy diving into the TV I'd missed.

But anyway - take a gander at my impressive number of latter-century classics.  Pretty sure I'll never see that concentration of acclaimed literature again.  Same formatting as usual applies; rereads and books I only read selections from do not count, nor do things under 100 pages long.
