Whoops, I did it again...

Curse Blackwell's bookshop and their "3 for 2" deal on Oxford University Press World Classics. I've resisted for so long, so long, but today my will foundered and I bought the following:

  • The Life & Opinions Of Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne
  • La Bête Humaine by Émile Zola
  • Major Works by Jonathan Swift
Oh well, I'll just add them to the pile of unread books waiting patiently for my attention. I shall post a list of all the books in my library I have yet to read. I shall do this for two reasons: firstly because it will make for a nice long blog post and make it look like I've made the effort; secondly because seeing all the bloody books I haven't read yet in a written list might prevent from me buying any more:
  • The Magus by John Fowles
  • The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time by Hunter S. Thompson
  • Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
  • Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
  • The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk
  • Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell
  • The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
  • The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick
  • So The Wind Won't Blow It All Away by Richard Brautigan
  • Two Tall Tales and One Short Novel: Anthology of Shorter Fiction by Lucy Fry, Kay Sexton & Heidi James
  • London Orbital by Iain Sinclair
  • Slow Chocolate Autopsy by Iain Sinclair
  • Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
  • Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakami
  • River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life by Richard Dawkins
  • The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
  • In Search of Schrodinger's Cat by John Gribbin
  • Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality by John Gribbin
  • How Brains Think: Evolving Intelligence, Then and Now by William H. Calvin
  • Nature's Numbers by Ian Stewart
  • Writing to the Moment: Selected Critical Essays 1980-95 by Tom Paulin
  • Luis Bunuel: New Readings by Peter William Evans
