My brain's no longer in any state to write paragraphs, so lists are my happy shiny friend. The list of this half-hour is: Ten books I own and therefore haven't read yet (and probably should).

1. Dune, by Frank Herbert
2. So You Want to be a Wizard, by Diane Duane
3. Fragile Things, by Neil Gaiman
4. Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy (in Russian; Mom keeps telling me to read it)
5. Obedience to Authority, by Stanley Milgram (read it for a class; keep meaning to re-read it for real.)
6. Briar Rose, by Jane Yolen
7. A Separate Peace, by John Knowles
8. The Silmarillon, by J.R.R. Tolkien
9. Smoke and Ashes, by Tanya Huff
10. Traitor's Moon, by Lynn Flewelling (which I put down, being disappointed by the beginning, but I really should finish at some point, if only for completion's sake.)

I'm reading Fragile Things right now. It's fantastic! I like the short story format for bus time reading and such.

I've adored everything I read by Neil, so I really, really should pick up this one and start. Bus rides are an excellent idea, actually...

Anna Karenina is one of the most personally important books I've ever read. Then, this might just be due to my mommy issues. :p

I should really just get an English-language library copy. And maybe read it in Russian afterward.

... I almost feel ashamed now, since people are identifying with the high-falutin' lit'rature and such, but dude!
Diane Duane got me through ninth grade.
I kind of feel like I should go back and see how she holds up now.

I keep hearing wonderful things about her. There's just something about owning a book and thus never getting around to it.
