What to read in 2012?

[nwhyte]

As can be seen from my tally here, I found last year's poll asking what books on my TBR shelves you have read tremendously helpful in deciding what to read in the course of 2011. Unfortunately, the number of books on the shelves remains about the same as acquisition more or less keeps pace with completion. So I would be very grateful once again if you could fill in this poll:

Again, particular recommendations of books to read or avoid very welcome in comments; I shall also bank recommendations from previous years.
