Below you will find my current list of books I would love to read if I have all the time in the world. As you can see, the list is almost 350 books long. The main problem with having a list like this is I add more than I can read and I don’t ONLY read from this list. Each year I hope to whittle down the list, but it never happens. I got it down to under 280 at one point only to turn around and see it skyrocket back up to nearly 350. I won’t let it go over 350, probably, maybe. (I have a reserve list to fill it up so it doesn’t go over 350.)
On the list you will see that there are three coded sections. There are more on my personal list, but I kept these as they might be interesting. The orange are books I picked up at the 2010 Boston Book Festival, the green I picked up copies of or decided I want to read from the 2011 Boston Book Festival, and the blue are the Man-Booker prize winners mentioned here. You can see the list sorted by Author (Tab 1) or by Title (Tab 2).

You must, must, must read Orlando! Amazing book!
I read excerpts when working on my Masters, but never read the entire thing. I’m definitely looking forward to it!
Also, as far as lesbian books go.. may I recommend another one for your list? Fried Green Tomatoes. The movie is good, but the book is better (they usually are).
I will definitely tack it on there. Coming from the south and knowing the basic subject of the book/film it’ll be worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion and comments!
