I'm always building up To-Read lists, which invariably get lost or forgotten, so that every few months, maybe once every year or two, I start over. Some books find their way back on, some stay forgotten. The current list looks a lot like this (except that it's handwritten and on two pieces of scrap paper

That's a clever way to keep track of it.

Any books on the list that you particularly enjoyed?

Have you heard of the Temeraire series? Basically, it's the Napoleonic war, but with dragons thrown in. His Majesty's Dragon is the first in the series, and I quite recommend it.

The cliffhanger on the fourth book was cruel and unusual punishment!

[whatsupdog]

Haha...I wouldn't know. I'm in the middle of book three right now.

Be happy, then, that the fifth book is slated for early July!

STEERSWOMAN'S ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akeyoftime]

SO GOOD! I can't wait to see Bel and Rowan bust some more heads and find some more questions.

The Lost Steersman is my FAVOURITE book in the series so far.

skip dorian gray and read demian by herman hesse instead.
also, if you haven't read the red tent, please do. ignore anything hugh says on the subject, because it's fantastic.

How about I read both, y/y?

I've been meaning to read The Red Tent. Thanks for reminding me! (Duly noted, ingore Hugh's critcisms.)

I don't even remember what Anansi Boys is supposed to be about :P Awesomesauce win! (Don't tell me, I'll get there sooner or later.)

I own a copy of Reading Lolita in Tehran if you want to borrow it. I haven't read it yet, because I decided I wanted to read all of the books that they read before I read it. :P But once I can find it (many things are still in boxes....) you're welcome to it.

I may also own Anansi Boys, if you need that one.

[akeyoftime]

Actually, I really like your idea of reading the books they read first. I think I'll be adopting that.

I'd love to borrow your copy of Anansi Boys. As I am not a legal resident of our fair city, using the library system is always a bit complicated.
