The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri (because I feel like I should read this at some point in my life)
Good Bones and Simple Murders, Margaret Atwood (This will be my 14th Margaret Atwood book. Oh dear.)
Parrot and Olivier in America, Peter Carey (Thanks, Economist top books list!)
La Reine Margot, Alexandre Dumas (I left this book on a plane once without finishing it. I have never found another copy, nor have I forgiven myself.)
Twenty Years After, Alexandre Dumas (Sixth Dumas book. So much love for Dumas.)
Less Than Zero, Bret Easton Ellis (Thanks, Thought Catalog list of depressing books!)
The Good Soldiers, David Finkel (...I like war stories.)
To the End of the Land, David Grossman (I may really like war stories.)
The Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger (Phenomenal journalist. War is one of the single most amazing journalistic assignments ever undertaken.)
Crazy, Benjamin Lebert (Read his Der Vogel ist ein Rabe for class. Loved it. Must read more.)
The Media Relations Department of Hizballah Wishes You a Happy Birthday, Neil MacFarquhar (Supposed to have read it for Seibert's class, but, ya know, papers and shit.)
The Imperfectionists, Tom Rachman (It is a book about journalists. Geek moment.)
While Mortals Sleep: Unpublished Short Fiction, Kurt Vonnegut (This will be my 20th Vonnegut book. I may have a problem. I also don't know why I keep track of these things.)
Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, David Foster Wallace (because I have not read anything of David Foster Wallace's and I feel like this is a gap in my fiction reading)
Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace (see above)
Seal Team 6: Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper, Howard E. Wasdin (...I may really, really, really like war stories.)
The Political Brain, Drew Weston (Supposed to have read it for Andy's class. Actually made it through about 3/4 of this one. Will finish.)
Revolutionary Road, Richard Yates (because I have not read anything of Yates' and this is bad)
Spieltrieb, Juli Zeh (German professor gave a talk on this book. Sounds endlessly fascinating. Must read.)
