Groan. :sad: I just resolved again to keep my TBR2012 list short, but these seem irresistible:

WWII Behind Closed Doors (Stalin, The Nazis and The West) by Laurence Rees
Zone One by Colson Whitehead
Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr

and

The Stand by Stephen King (long version)

if I can ever get around to having that much time without another few or dozen books intervening.
