I used to have a giant reading list that I was constantly updating. For every book that I read, I’d add between 5 and 10 (it was a very long list). Unfortunately, in the Great Harddrive Crash of ’04, I lost the list (among other things, like my photos, and possibly my mind). I thought, this morning, that I would try to reconstruct the list from the postit note on my brain. And possibly add to it on occasion. So, without further adieu:
Books I’d Like to Read Someday (in no particular order)
- Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams
- Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi (thanks to Stanek)
- Anything by P.G. Wodehouse (thanks to Douglas Adams)
- Persepolis and Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi (Stanek again)
- Other things by Katherine Dunn (thanks to kris)
- Take the Cannoli: Stories From the New World, Radio On: A Listener’s Diary, and Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell
- Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott
- Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser
- An American Album: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Harper’s Magazine and Theater of War by Lewis Lapham
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
- Ursula K. LeGuin
Well, that’s a good start (though, much shorter than the original list). I’ll add to this list as I remember things (or find new things! which, trust me, I will).
