Reading List

I've revised my reading list. Whenever I go to the library or a bookstore I never remember any books that I've recently thought "yeah, I want to read that." I normally roam listlessly from shelf to shelf before dejectedly slipping into a booth with an overpriced coffee (or, if in the library, replace "overprice coffee" with "randomly chosen, yet inevitably grimy book").

But now, now, I can print this out and take it with me . . . and I will finally knock some of these out.

1. Finnegan’s Wake- James Joyce
2. Flatland- Edwin Abbott Abbott
3. The Man in the High Castle- Philip K Dick

Any suggestions? Apparently if I ever want to know love in my life (or at least begin to understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind), I should read Pride and Prejudice. I just don't think I'm up to it, yet, though. Not yet.
