The "To Read" Stack

(As of August 2006)

Really, I'm struggling for room next to my bed - I can't move for my "To Read" stack. I just get it down to what I think might be a reasonable level, then I suddenly spot a half-price must have, or the perfect book for my current mood. In reality, the pile never gets any smaller. The truth is - I just don't care anymore. I love the act of owning them as much as I love reading them.

So without further ado, the list is as follows:

1. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
2. Saving Fish From Drowning by Amy Tan
3. On Beauty by Zadie Smith
4. The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi
5. Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith
6. Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami
7. Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
8. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
9. The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
10. The Outsider by Albert Camus

Actually now I look at it, it's not too long a list really. Or is it?
