I can never keep track of what I'm supposed to be reading. I'll be reading one book until I go to bed, and leave it next to my pillow when I fall asleep, but pick up another book when I wake up in the morning and head down to breakfast. Sometimes I just find a book, randomly open it to some part in the middle and start reading, and forget all other things.

So now I'm making a book list. Just in case. A list of books I want to or have yet to read.

• Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Doestoevsky. Still have not gotten through this book!
• The Unbearable Lightness of Being. WHO HAS A COPY?!
• Anything Bob Ong. He's becoming my favorite Filipino writer.
• Macbeth, Hamlet, The Tempest, and Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. Just because I really like the Bard, and I want the whole panache thing. Y'know, the class you get from having read such classics.
• The Picture of Dorian Gray. I am intrigued.
• Madame Bovary. See reason above.
• I Am The Messenger by Marc Zusak. I read his novel, Book Thief, and it was brilliant. He made me fall in love with Death.
• Faust by Goethe. Must remember to borrow off Kia sometime.
• The sequels to Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy." Because Douglas Adams is hilarious.
• Something Kafka or Keats. In the mood for existentialism!
• More things Jean-Paul Sartre. Because "No Exit" was great.
• Freakonomics. It sounds fun!
• Keeping You A Secret by Julie Anne Peters. Because Luna was just too good.
• More DC Comics! Marvel is so unrealistic.
• Inferno by Dante Alighieri.
• The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. I am in love with the idea of Machiavelli. Or, at least, I am since I read Scott's Alchemyst series.
• Something by Paolo Coelho. Just so I know what he's like. Never read him before.
• Mansfield Park. Curious.

Part of me wonders if anything will ever get crossed off this list. I mean, between school and all the books Elina and my tita foist on me, and all the books I currently have at home, I don't know if I'll get to read these before college. I don't even know where I'll find copies of most of them. But, we'll see. To quote Yani, "anything can happen."
