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.

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.

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.
