What's on your 'To Read' list..?

We all have one, right? Confess all!

For years now there has always been a pile of books beside my bed, a pile of books I have to read. Each time the pile gets smaller I tell myself not to add to it as there are far too many things I’d like to re-read - but I’m weak and always end up in some bookshop or other once again growing the pile.

Do you do the same? And if so, what’s on your pile?

To get us started, here’s my current list:

• The Woman Who Rode Away - D H Lawrence

• Coming Through Slaughter - Michael Ondaatje

• The Hot Gates - William Golding

• Guernica - James Attlee [non-fiction about Picasso’s painting]

• The Largesse of the Sea Maiden - Denis Johnson

• No-one belongs here more than you - Miranda July

• Liberation Day - George Saunders

• Nemesis - Philip Roth

• The Years, Months, Days - Yan Lianke

• A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara (this has been on the pile for ages!)

(I read poetry downstairs; at the moment, Thom Gunn and Ted Hughes.)

Now your turn. What’s on your ‘To Read’ pile…?
