'Life of Pi'- I bought it second hand for 25 cents in February although with a bunch of other books, some of which I haven't yet read.
'Parable of the Sower' (Octavia E. Butler) given to me for Christmas, so I have to read that...
'Lies Inc.' (Philip Dick) picked up also for 25 cents at the same book sale.
Somebody wants me to read 'Prey' by Michael Crighton, so I might read that...
I have to finish 'David Copperfield' by May 7th (I started it when I came to Toronto and although I've read a bunch of books inbetween I've still not got to the end of DC! I've read it before, though...)
I also want to finally actually read 'Wuthering Heights' which, no, I've never actually got through, and yes, I know I should have!
'5th Business' by Robertson Davies, who I've heard good things about.

I plan to read Churchill's history of the Second World War. Also, some books by Ken Follet and Clive Cussler.

The next Harry Potter book A Feast for Crows if it comes out, but I'm putting my money on a 2006 release for that one at this point. All of John Steinbeck's stuff Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow
Beyond that I don't really have any concrete plans. Rowling and Martin are the only two authors whose upcoming works I'm anxiously awaiting at the moment. If Maureen McHugh or Octavia Bulter were to come out with something new I'd snap it up in a second, of course.

The only notable books I read so far this year were Lewis Lockwood's "Beethoven: The Music And the Life" and Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit" and "Hard Times".
Currently I'm reading "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep."
After that I plan to hit the classics that have slowly but surely been growing get going unread on my shelf.
And of course I'll to go that library book sale and buy more.
