The Great Hope, and its Foundering.

I like making lists.

Books I wished to read but did not;

Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller - I am disappointed with myself that I still did not get a chance to read this sci-fi classic. Oh wait, Amazon's doing a sale on it, should I buy it? (But having said that, my debit card was eaten by the cash machine in the weekends, so maybe later)

R. Dawkins Paper Harem Extravaganza - Ever since I rolled up for a course in Evolution and Behaviour, Dawkin's paper harem became textbooks, not light reads for holiday kill-joy. (Yes, that' what the Blind Watchmaker was for me) He may not be my favourite popular science writer, but it seems that'Bwidge expects me to read all his works, if my supplmentary reading list is any judge to go by. (I admit that he is good at what he does.)

Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, etc... by Frank Herbert - I've read Dune, I loved Dune, if they say I need to be exiled to one planet...wait, no, I don't want to go to Arrakis, but I feel very bad that I did not have a chance to read sequels of Dune for ages. I always forget whenever I go book-shopping. (Random Announcement: Please someone tell me whether the TV series is good or not)

Making Money by Terry Pratchet - Although my friend gave an interesting review on this installment of the Discworld series (to quote her; 'He must have been near the deadline with no inspiration, he just gathered up all Vetinari-fangirling fanfictions into a ball, paraphrased them and bound them to a book'), it has been nagging my subconscience for ages. It's not because I am a Vetinari fangirl (shush).
Amazon is also doing a sale on this one. Come back, my darling card!


Books I did not wish to read but did anyway;

Ergh, I don't have enough time and budget to read books I want to read.
