(no subject)

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.

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.

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