As of now I have read: 
The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Hamid 
Beloved - Morrison 
Trumpet - Kay 
The Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald 
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley 
Wuthering Heights - Brontë 
 
I am currently reading: 
To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf 
 
Going to read: 
Written on the Body - Winterson

				Hmmmm, I have the problem that I buy too many books, but can`t read them fast enough... 
 
Currently reading these paralell: 
Total Recall - Arnold Schwarzenegger 
Guest in Space - Stanislaw Lem 
The Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde 
 
And here is a moderate selection of "to reads" that lie in wait in my small library: 
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley 
The Mask - Stanislaw Lem 
An Ernest Hemingway collection 
Death Of A Salesman - Arthur Miller 
Naked Lunch - William S. Burroughs 
 
+ about 5 other ones that are untouched or unfinished

				Quantum Thief - Hannu Rajaniemi. 
 
Have to read it twice, it's so crazy yet brilliant.  
So crazy that one read isn't enough to completely understand its bizzare story.

You seem to be having the same problem as my brother. He has two Ayn Rand books, one of which is Atlas Shrugged. Crime and Punishment, Doctor Zhivago and a bunch more that he has barely opened. He has begun reading a few though.

				Reading Don Quixote at the moment - an English translation unfortunately. I'm embarrassed by how little I've read so I'm trying to remedy that.

				Watch out for those windmills! 
 
Also, I forgot, I've also read Brave New World by Huxley, which is interesting because they use a drug called SOMA...
