The List

tfbretz's post gave me the idea to do a rundown on what I'm reading and have lined up to read.

Currently, I'm trying to read John Crowley's Daemonomania. Even compared to its predecessor, Aegypt, it's very slow going. I don't think I've picked it up in almost three weeks or more.

Yesterday I did something with my game books: I pulled out to the edge of the shelf every book that I have not yet fully read. There are a grand total of thirty-five books to read. Some of them are glorified equipment catalogs, but I still want to give them a thorough skim, at least.

In the to-be-read category, I have a steadily mounting row of books acquired through Paperbackswap.com. Not a member yet? Ask me how -- and why it's such a good thing!

Books I'll get around to reading sometime, from first to last:

  1. The Haunted Monastery and The Chinese Maze Murders by Robert Van Gulik
  2. The Message of the Sphinx by Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval
  3. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
  4. Fool Moon by Jim Butcher
  5. The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar
  6. The Fan Man by William Kotzwinkle
  7. War for the Oaks by Emma Bull
  8. The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer
  9. Star Trek S.C.E. Book One: Have Tech, Will Travel by various
  10. Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher
  11. The High House by James Stoddard
  12. Interface by Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick George
  13. Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf
  14. The Crow Road by Iain Banks
  15. Tinker by Wen Spencer
  16. The Yellow Sign and Other Stories by Robert W. Chambers
  17. The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke
  18. Quite Ugly One Morning by Christopher Brookmyre

Read something on the list? Comment and tell me about it -- without spoiling, natch. Then, if you want to get memey, post your own to-read list and I'll comment on anything on it I've read.
