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).

-Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
-Wicked (because I've already read half of it, damnit)
-The Lost Steersman (and anything else in the series!)
-The Language of Power
-Anansi Boys
-The Picture of Dorian Gray
-A Confederacy of Dunces
-Watership Down
-Clothed-In-Fur
-Ubu Plays
-Wide Sargasso Sea
-Feminism and its Discontents
-Reading Lolita in Tehran
-Decoding Adversiting
-The Vagina Monologues
-Feminist and Religion/Women and World Religions (or some variation on this theme)

If you're read that list (well done, you), you may have already guess that I picked up the second half of that list in an acadmic bookstore :P I think I am going to have to make a point of reading A Confederacy of Dunces this summer, since it's been on my lists since high school.

Looks like a good list. I've read some of the books o your list, but not all.
I've made a list that I keep on my computer and add to it as I find new books.

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

Any books on the list that you particularly enjoyed?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. That's a book I recommend. And anything by Jeantette Winterson. The last one of hers I read was Lighthousekeeping.
