What's on your "to read" list? (authors, historical, novels)

[mizzourah2006]

Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder by Nasem Nicholas Taleb
The Rook
The Bishop
The Knight

I like to keep a fiction and a non-fiction book going at the same time.

[SoCalbound12]

The Saga of the Volsungs, The Prose Edda, The Poetic Edda, and The Nibelungenlied. I've read bot the Eddas before but I will reread them. I also plan on tackling some of the Grimm Fairy Tales.

[kerafaith]

Several Heather Graham's, some Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, Dean Koontz, Nicholas Sparks, Maggie Shayne, Richelle Mead, Allison Brennan, and several others. And also some books on DSLR cameras & Canon Cameras since I just got one and don't really know how to use it.

And I've gotta get the new Supernatural books, Morganville Vampire Books, & the final Southern Vampire book when they come out later this year.

Edited to add:
Hopefully my list this year will get smaller rather than larger. One of my New Year's resoultions (really my only real true resoultion, I made others but they weren't serious) was to live "smarter". Which means I'm going to try to really watch my spending & shopping & try to save some money. So other than the new books I listed I'm going to try to seriously curve my book buying habbit. And if I can get any of those new books with my "bonus" points from my full time job then I won't have to spend actual cash for them & they'll still be new.

I would like to read "China Doll" by Talia Carner.

'The Soundtrack Of My Life' by Clive Davis is next on my list.

[DawnMTL]

I'm ridiculous. I have no time to read, but I had time to dredge up this 7-year-old thread AND add to it. I can't help myself -- not only do I like to know what you've all read and what you're reading now, I also like to know what you PLAN to read. See? Ridiculous.

Here's my current list: (just the top 25 )

1. City on Fire (Garth Risk Hallberg)
2. 4321 (Paul Auster)
3. Lisey’s Story (Stephen King) – I hope to start it this weekend; fingers crossed
4. Christodora (Tim Murphy) – jay5835, you suggested this one, right? It sounds fabulous.
5. Where Am I Now (memoir by Mara Wilson who Marlow likes)
6. Kindred (Octavia Butler) – totally outside my genre but I’ll try
7. The House of God (Samuel Shem)
8. French Rhapsody (Antoine Laurain, who I adore, but I’m saving this for when I’m relaxed)
9. The Private Life of Mrs. Sharma (Ratika Kapur)
10. The Sky Unwashed (Irene Zabytko) -- because Netwit told me to and it does sound fabulous
11. Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital (David Oshinsky)

13. The Afterlife of Stars (Joseph Kertes)

23. Theft by Finding (David Sedaris diaries) (release date May 30)
24. The Reason You’re Alive (Matthew Quick) (release date July 4)
25. The Portrait (Antoine Laurain… again… still love) (release date June 27)


I'd love to see yours. (That sounds naughty.)
I'd also love to know which, from my list, you took for your own. If any.
