Reading List '09

I just made a run to the Salvation Army here, which has a better (and cheaper!) selection than any of the used book stores around and managed to accumulate five books - including a $29.99 copy of a D&D book - all for only $5.40. Deal! Except now my reading list has grown up to my head, so I wanted to make a list of that which I need to read.

Note - After the date of this entry, I kept the list updated, so obviously all you see isn't what you originally got. ^_^

I Must Finish Reading...

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century by Michio Kaku
Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Edison's Eve by ...?

I Want to Read...

Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear
The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Our Lady of Pain by Marion Chesney
The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie
A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
Neuromancer by William Gibson
The Tailor's Daughter by Janice Graham
Un Lun Dun by China Mieville
The Turn of the Screw (and Other Short Novels) by Henry James

And I Might As Well Throw These In to Reread...

His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
The Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (<3)
The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce
The Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce
The Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce

I've apparently been on a sci fi kick lately, which is weird because I don't even really like sci fi! Speaking on that subject, I may have a bit of a sci fi contribution later today...

Comments

Oh~ a reading list! I'd make one of those...if I didn't have a class sylabus to do it for me. Glad to see that I'm not the only one who hasn't read Pride and Predudice.

Sci-fi gets you. It does. Until like last July I hadn't read a sci-fi book and now I'm in a Science Fiction Literature class.

Beware, for its hold and strong and deep.
Well, I sort of read half-way through Pride and Prejudice, but then I saw the movie, and... *feels guilty* I had to read Sense and Sensibility for my British Lit class, so I decided to take this opportunity to read all of Austen's books in rough order of publishing.

You know, I'm almost scared to begin this addiction to sci fi. I've already been suckered into fantasy, horror, every single thing that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman have written... I'm not sure exactly how many more books I can possibly read!
