READING -- The books that are next on my stack

A surprising number of people have responded to the list of all the books I've read (which I thought would be of little interest to anyone but myself). Many have recommended books that they have enjoyed -- including ones that I had never heard of and will now be looking for. Attached are the books now in my "to read soon" stack.

For the lists and recommendations and reviews, go to www.samizdat.com/readers.html
