What do you want to read that you haven't read before and don't currently own?

[LeslieR]

Every time I hear or read about a book that I want to read, I add it to my amazon.com wish list. Since I have a huge box of books TBR (to be read), the wish list keeps growing because I keep telling myself I need to read the books I already have before I buy any new ones!

Here's some on my current list:

Adored by Tilly Bagshawe
Oh My Stars by Lorna Landvik
PS, I Love You by Cecelia Ahern
The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve
Little Children by Tom Perrotta
The Other Woman by Jane Green
A Breath of Snow And Ashes by Diana Gabaldon (not yet published)
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

And that's just part of my list!

Right now it's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. ;)

Generally speaking, I'm not that good at keeping track of things I want to read. I should start a list somewhere, that would be good. I have a list that I got from one of my Professors that was compiled by the rest of the English Dept faculty of "must read" Classics for English majors, so sometimes I look at that for inspiration. (I try to alternate one Classic w/ one "fun" read.) For my other stuff, mostly just recs I read online or books that look interesting at B&N. Sometimes I forget about books completely and then re-discover them and remember I've wanted to read them for a long time!

That's pretty much how I try to do it, too, but it also depends on my mood and what I have going on in my life. I keep a list of books, though, and I also add things to my Amazon.com Wishlist as I come across titles that I don't want to forget about. Here's my current list:

LawyerLee, DH is reading "God's Politics" right now, and really enjoying it. Keeps on reading me passages while I'm trying to watch TV, darn guy. ;)

Damn him!

That's good to know. I need to pick it up sometime because I know I'd get right into it if I had it on hand. :)

I also would like to read God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It as well as The Da Vinci Code.

I just ordered Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Macguire through a used Amazon broker last night. Otherwise, I've a whole list, but nothing is really coming to mind.

May sound silly but I desperately want to read Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes and the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series (unfortunately at the library there is a huge wait list for any of these books-and I hate paying full price for books)
