This weekend momebie alerted me to this project that a bunch of fellow editors and whatnot were planning on called Filling in the Gaps. A list of a 100 books that you never read but felt that maybe you should, books that you maybe wouldn't read if left to your own devices. I thought this sounded pretty interesting, but my list isn't so much books I SHOULD read as books I really want to read but never got around to for various reasons. Also I'm not giving myself a time limit (for now, at least), partially because I feel I can read 100 books in WAY less than 5 years. But we'll see.

This is my list. The top 20 or so are books I own but haven't read yet or books I've read about half of and then never finished for various reasons -- could be the library knocking down my door, could be I lost interest and/or focus, could be I put it down and forgot I was reading it. Some are a bunch of books by the same author and I am set to read at least one (aside from the Thursday Next books and the L.A. Quartet of which I intend to read all).

At some point I will probably add more books to this list, especially instead of the ones I've never finished. God Is Not Great and Wicked in particular are some I have about half a dozen at most chapters left of, so they feel kind of like a cop out.
