So I have gathered up recommendations and outside of school my reading list (roughly in order) goes:

• Gaiman - Just started Fragile Things, then Stardust
• finish Earthsea (very short and easy)
• Give Anathem another shot
• Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s etc.
• Reread the Lord of the Rings
• Hunger Games once copies free up
• Hermann Hesse
• Margret Atwood
• Discworld
• Wheel of Time (that’s waiting till it’s finished in 2013 though)
• Oh! and the new Temeraire somewhere in there
• plus rereading some Marion Zimmer Bradley since I’m definitely old enough for the sex scenes now
• Then Isaac Aismov
• maybe Terry Goodkind?

Poor Discworld keeps getting bumped back because it’s a big series. This will all take some time ‘cause when I’m doing a bunch of boring class reading I tend to not be as book thirsty. Still I think that’s should cover this year! Tell me if there’s something good I’m missing, but yeah I have several years of backlog after this plus not really factoring in rereading and I wanna eventually get through more Hugo and Nebula winners god do you want to know the best thing?

I already know of enough books I want to read to last at maybe 5 years and then I haven’t even really fleshed out my knowledge of classics or magical realism and there are so many basics of sci-fi I missed goodness

books are cool because when you get overwhelmed you can just roll around in piles of them.

4. deweydell said: you can find the books. it probz only takes like ~3 hours to get through each one depending on how fast you read. also, have you read good omens?
