I should probably do this more often. To remind me to read all of them books in my TBR pile. Just looking at it makes me giddy. Really excited about that Steingarten book, food lit plus research plus a dry sense of humor= <3

This weekend, since I am broke and always complaining about lacking time, I will read, read and read.

I've got a growing list of books I still haven't finished, some of them tasted already, some barely opened. As usual, I am listing them, since I am hugely obsessed with creating book lists and things to do lists and movies to watch lists and basically trying-to-make-some-sense-in-my-life lists. I'm hoping this list would motivate me to stop wasting my time writing lists and do the things on my lists. hahaha. Anyway, here they are:

Books i've yet to fully digest:
1. The Art of Eating by M.F.K. Fisher: Beyond my book budget, but very worth it. I also plan to give this to my mom for her birthday.:)
2. Strange things sometimes happen, folktales collected by Angela Carter: With wonderful illustrations that look a bit like paper cuttings
3. Atonement by Ian McEwan: For some reason, am looking forward to reading this in the ber months.
4. The Secret History by Donna Tart: A bit turned off by her language, but maybe i'll get the hang of it after a few chapters.
5. The Beach by Alex Garland: unfinished. Reading this at the beach seems fun.
6. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: Reminds me of H2G2
7. H2G2 Omnibus by Douglas Adams: One day, my funny friend, I will finish you.
8. A Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Wizard of Oz, Through the Looking Glass: Yes, I love YA classics.
9. Art and Lies, Boating for Beginners, Gut Symmetries, all by Jeanette Winterson: I highly believe reading Winterson takes a certain "mood", since after Written on the body I kinda got lost with her other novels, but one day, i'll be in the mood, perhaps.
10. The Mayor of Castro Valley: I'm excited to read this one. I watched MILK more than thrice and cried everytime. I can't wait to read more about what happened then. A few years ago, I read something like this about Che Guevara. I'm more fond of fiction, but when i'm interested in certain people, I can devote some patience to reading biographical books too, haha. A biographical book about Edie Sedgwick can also be listed here.
11. NP and Hardboiled and Hard Luck by Banana Yoshimoto: Bought both books at National for only Php50. Also saw Diary by Chuck Palahniuk but offered it to TB since i'm not much of a Palahniuk fan. sorry.
12. Ghost by Alan Lightman: Given by chief. We both loved Einstein's Dreams, and i'm ready to love this one too.
13. Generation X by Douglas Coupland: Halfway through this one. So far, interesting enough.
14. A Year in the Merde, Without Reservations, Almost French: Armchair travel books. I went a bit overboard and bought too much, I think.
15. State of War by Ninotchka Rosca: My gift for chief, since she loves Ninotchka.
16. Fables: I haven't finished this, sadly.
17. The Complete Grimm Brothers: Yes, I also daydream too much.


Any more book suggestions? In my past life I was a librarian, everyday is heaven surrounded by the smell of musty books and my card catalog.
