The Five by Robert McCammon

Falls The Shadow by Sharon Kay Penman
The Blind Side Of The Heart by Michael C White
Revelation by C J Samson
The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson
Sappique by Catherine Fisher
The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard
Blood Eye by Giles Kristian
The Briar King by Greg Keyes

This is the surprise book of my life, for me though...:)

Les Misérables (Signet Classics) [Unabridged] [Mass Market Paperback] - English translation

I spotted this book at a bookstore and bought it, more because I've seen the play twice when I was in London some years back. When I started reading it, I was fascinated by the style, especially the dialogue, even though it is translated. I couldn't put it down.:cool:
 
Dune
Life of Pie
Latest Ranger's Apprentice
City of Bones
Hunger games book 2 and 3
Dragon's Path
way of the shadows
dexter book 1
the green mile

these are books that I bought recently, it seems like whenever I knock one off the list, I end up going to the book store and adding one-two more. I probably have an addiction or something
 
I have so many books on my to-reads, no way am I gonna post all the titles here.

I have 135 books on my to-reads....:(. I love reading too much.
 
A lot of you have some great ones on your lists! I absolutely love Swan Song, The Book Thief, It, Misery, Carrie, The Green Mile, Pet Sematary and A Catcher in the Rye. I'm not all that fond of Chuck Palahniuk anymore but my favorite of his is Choke.

Brave New World: Aldous Huxley
The Color Purple: Alice Walker
Love in the Time of Cholera: Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Shelters of Stone: Jean M Auel

I may go with this list:

The Jungle by Sinclair
A Confederacy of Dunces by Toole
The Remains of the Day by Ishiguro
In Cold Blood by Capote

Alias Grace by Atwood

...or, then again, I might choose other novels. :banghead6mx:
 
Like others, I have too excessive an extent of books that I covet to read to post them all. Essentially, any book I come across, I will eventually read it; whether it is advocated to me or I notice someone at school reading a book.

Yes, till now, I mainly concentrated on contemporary Indian writers, considering classics to be heavy read, but a single sitting with Tolstoy made me rethink about classics.
