New on the Shelf

Due to Chapters coupons that required several large purchases, finding cheap used books at Goodwill, and receiving gifts, I have many new books on my shelf. (And these days I am much more likely to actually read the new books I get than I used to be, instead of letting them sit unattended forever.) Here's some of what I plan to be reading in the near future:

1. At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon a
2. The Reader by Bernhard Schlink a
3. Anthem by Ayn Rand a
4. Dune by Frank Herbert a
5. Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert a
6. Essays by George Orwell a
7. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert a
8. Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
9. How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton a
10. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
11. The Piano Man's Daughter by Timothy Findley a
12. The Birth House by Ami McKay a
13. Gourmet Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery a
14. Candide by Voltaire a
15. The Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathana

Do any of these interest you guys? Would you care to join me?
