Rudimentary reading list attempt.

[cartilage]

In recent years I've become a poor reader. I read avariciously as a child and through my studies, but while I still *think* of myself as a reader, in fact it feels like a notable event if I ever finish a book these days

Some of yours are only not on my list because I've read them : )

2. Money by Martin Amis
4. The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks
5. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
24. Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges

2 is okay but 4, 5 and 24 are all absolute must-reads. Good choices.

26. Lost Girls by Alan Moore

would be on my Christmas list if it weren't an inappropriate thing to suggest your parents seek out for you.

I'm very excited to start on my list. We should make sure we keep each other on track. I want to start with Blood and Guts in High School and that one is being mailed to me now. Which one are you reading first?

I just realized we did have a book in common! Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy is on my longer list. Also, Primo Levi is on my list, too, but I don't think it's for the same book. Haruki Murakami is also on my list, but it's on another one that I have online, not my handwritten list. Man, I really need to condense all of them into one.
