Some of them are partly read (marked P), but some are just unread (U). And these are books that I still want to get around to reading someday, or I would have put them up on BookMooch. This isn't all of them though. Just the ones I sincerely want to read and intend to do so someday. The ones that are, or have become too "popular" for me to have the drive to read. Old school classics discounted.

  • Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer (P)
  • Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (P)
  • Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro (U)
  • Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pressl (P)
  • Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell by Susanna Clarke (P)
  • The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (U)

The ones that seduced me by mainly being cheap and the only copy left, though they had other charms of their own.

  • A Consumer's Republic by Lizabeth Cohen (U)
  • Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman (U)
  • The Barbie Chronicles: A Living Doll Turns Forty by Yona Zeldis McDonough (P)

  • Extra Virgin: A Young Woman Discovers the Italian Riviera, Where Every Month Is Enchanted by Annie Hawes (U)
  • The Peacock Spring by Rumer Godden (U)

The ones that are cult classics/written by cool people/I really really wanted that I just haven't been in the mood for since I've had them.
