I have noooooooot been able to get myself into reading. I mostly attribute this to stress and and a little bit to continually picking up books that I think are just not well written. So here's where my current to-read is at:

  • Aesthetic Theory by Theodor Adorno

  • Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

  • Aporias by Jacques Derrida

  • Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner

  • A Light in August by William Faulkner

  • Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico

  • Provenance by Ann Leckie

  • The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie

  • The Four Profound Weaves by R. B. Lemberg

  • The Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong (Sumei, 2014)

  • The Persian Boy by Mary Renault

  • The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh by Shi Nai'an (Lowe, 2009)

  • Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag

  • Crush by Richard Siken

  • The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong

  • The Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en (Yu, 2012)

I'm anticipating moving very soon, so I'm not in a hurry to get started, but I wanted to get my list settled. Especially since I relied on the library website to track my to-reads; I'm (probably? hopefully?) moving to a new library system, so I needed to write them all down anyway.

I also have a small list for books I'd like to purchase and add to my shelf:

  • Autobiography of Red by Ann Carson

  • As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

  • The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

  • Cleanness by Garth Greenwell

  • Among the Burning Flowers by Samantha Shannon

  • A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

  • The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

  • The Black Tides of Heaven by Neon Yang

  • The Red Threads of Fortune by Neon Yang
