Fallen Angel's reading list

[Fallen Angel]

I have come to the conclusion that I am a very very bad forum member. I made a list of books I'm either reading, or have plans to read, last summer, intending to post it here....and I've just found it this morning while tidying up, and thought maybe I'd better post it. :blush:

Anyways, here goes...

This is my current stack of books sitting at the side of my bed in various states of read-ness - they've been sitting there for getting on for the last two years. These days I have so little time for reading, but I've decided that I'm going to have to put aside some time for reading each day. That way I might at least finish the ones I've started reading!

- One by One - Linda Lee
- Antibodies - Kevin J Anderson
- Close Range/Brokeback Mountain - Annie Proulx
- Synners - Pat Cadigan
- Extreme Science Fiction - edited by Mike Ashley
- Weaving the Web - Tim Berners-Lee

*must learn to finish one before starting the next!*:lol:

And the ones on my "to read" list:
- Flesh and Blood - Graham Masterton
- Darkest Fear - Harlan Coben
- Heathen - Shaun Hutson (read some years ago but want to re-read)
- Bad Men - John Connolly
- Last Human - Doug Naylor
- I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou
- Exit Wounds - Shaun Hutson

Thats a problem I have too!
I know why the Caged Bird sings - Maya Angelou, is very good. We read it as a set text at Uni.

Well, some kind of progress at least, though I've a stack of books added to my "to read" pile that my mum brought home for me from a bookstall she helps to run (I'll add them to the list some time).

Also added to the list is "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" by Philip Dick. The opening few pages of it was in a course book for the degree I'm studying for at the moment. I liked what I read, and off I went to Waterstones to buy me it (got myself a Waterstones loyalty card as well so I can earn points while reading - an added incentive! :lol:)

Looking at the list I posted last year, I have actually made a little progress on my reading list. I did finish Annie Proulx's "Close Range/Brokeback Mountain" and I did start another - "Next" by Michael Crichton (I found myself on holiday in September having forgotten to take any reading matter with me, and picked it up from the local Asda. I've half finished it, so I suppose that ought to be the one I finish off first. I've read a couple more chapters of Tim Berners-Lee's "Weaving the Web", and for the umpteenth time at one point I re-started "Synners" which I find dreadfully confusing and the narrative difficult to keep up with - though I suppose it would help if I tried reading it in slightly larger, less spaced out chunks! :lol:

Some progress anyhow, and having recently finished reading some fanfiction on LiveJournal, I've got bitten by the reading bug again, so I'm looking forward to 2008 being the year I seriously try and get through my reading list!
