two thousand ten reading list (awip)

Yesterday, I finished off Harry P and the Deathly Hallows during my interview. I’m not great with evaluative commentary, but I’ll say the entire series is well worth a read. Also, Wizard People, Dear Reader. Also, Snape killed Dumbledore.

After spending the past two weeks with my nose in a book, I realized what an atrocity it is that I waste a good couple of hours every day not reading. Therefore, potential 2010 reading list:

• The Book of the New Sun – Gene Wolfe
• The Dream of Perpetual Motion – Dexter Palmer
• Murphy – Samuel Beckett
• Gravity’s Rainbow – Thomas Pynchon
• Moby Dick: or, The Whale – Herman Melville
• The Digging Leviathan – James P. Blaylock (and the rest of the trilogy)
• Additions:
• The Barrytown Trilogy – Roddy Doyle (Cormac)
• Reading in the Dark – Seamus Deane (Cormac)
• Motorman – David Ohle (Tracy)
• Goodbye to Berlin – Christoph Isherwood (Tracy)
• The Boy Who Set Fire – Mohammed Mrabet (Tracy)

Before I start on those, I’m reading Mike Carey’s Lucifer, courtesy of Ericat.
So far, so good.

If anyone has any suggestions or vetoes, let me know. I hunger. I have appetites.

Don’t worry Shakespeareans, the Amazon links are only for reference. I wouldn’t dream of ordering from anywhere but Kit Marlowe & Co.

Harry Potter said right into Ron’s soul, “You know what we are, baby? We are wizards. We are finally what we were always going to become. We are wizards, and the world better get ready because I have just begun.”
