I am inspired by Mr. Dan Kelly's list of books he has actually managed to kill off to post my own list of neglected books which are gathering dust on bookshelves or elsewhere and which I WILL read before I buy more books, dammit. Yeah sure (in my predicted order of actually getting read):
Sacred Games, Vikram Chandra
Wall Street Noir, featuring a short story by Henry Blodget??? Curious.
This Is Your Brain On Music, Daniel J. Levitin
Londonstani, Gautam Malkani
Abraham, Bruce Feiler
Maxium City, Suketu Mehta
The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand
Portraits and Observations, The Essays Of Truman Capote
Survivor, by Chuck Palahniuk: I have a funny story to tell about Chuck Palahniuk sometime.
The Facts Behind The Helsinki Roccamatios, Yann Martel
Amnesia Moon, Jonathan Lethem
The Granta Book of Reportage
Carter Beats The Devil, Glen David Gold
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Betty Smith
These last three I have picked up and put back down. That typically bodes ill for me finishing them, but I actually do want to read these:
Collapse, Jared Diamond
The Journalist And The Murderer, Janet Malcolm
And They All Sang, Studs Terkel
And there are about another 20 that I ought to just put out on the curb because I am clearly never going to read them. I'm so uninterested in them that I'm not even going to list them here.
