Riku Sayuj ok this is going to be an important pointer for me.

Ian "Marvin" Graye The list could be different tomorrow. And the day after!

It is ok. i have saved it. You are a new man everyday. I get it.

But seriously, each of these books still in by tbr are too long there, and usually in my craved-but-feared section. I am going to use this list as a starting point to make some inroads to end this siege.

Pixelina All male authors I see.


message 5: by Ian (new)

Ian "Marvin" Graye Haha. I couldn't decide between two Woolfs and ended up choosing neither.


message 6: by Pixelina (new)

Pixelina i was dithering too, but in the end picked the one I enjoyed over the one that might be 'better'

Every book I've feared has been a delight, provided I get a good long start and get into the groove.

Yes, we always deny ourselves the best pleasures of life.


message 9: by Ian (new)

Ian "Marvin" Graye I'm more into pleasure than denial!


message 10: by Ted (new)

Ted I've only read 3, but all the rest are on tbr except Lolita.

Haven't you denied yourself any book? Nothing that itches at you everyday? Ah, you must be in heaven then.


message 12: by Ian (new)

Ian "Marvin" Graye I have something like 850 books on a "wishlist" that I am currently denying myself. Otherwise and regardless I'm in heaven!


message 13: by David (new)

David Sarkies Too many books - not enough time.

That's the spirit. Could you point me to that shelving?

Ian "Marvin" Graye Here is the wishlist (for acquisition):

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

But I have to say that I already have my greatest reading priorities.

I really shouldn't get anything extra other than new publications.
