What Are The First Ten Books On Your TBR List?

[traceya]

It's just a screenshot from my iPad.

That is very definitely cool.... reminded me of Dan Brown's website a little 

[Geemont]

Something along the lines of the titles listed below.  But some will be added, some will be dropped.

1. The Four Fingers of Death by Rick Moody
2. Bright of the Sky by Kay Kenyon
3. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
4. Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada
5. Black Hills by Dan Simmons
6. Perdido Street Station by China Melville
7. The Tin Drum by Günter Grass
8. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
9. City at the End of Time by Greg Bear
10. Flood by Stephen Baxter

I really enjoyed reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I recommend it to all my friends. Hope you enjoy it, too!

[The Hooded Claw]

No formal TBR list, but some priority reads include:

Life on the Mississippi (gotta read it now that Twain's full autobiography is coming out!).
Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void (started it awhile ago and got distracted)
A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning (picked up most of the series when the price was lowered during the 'Agency' transition)
Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide
Flashman on the March

[timhallinan]

Hard to keep it to ten:

The Good Son, Michael Gruber
My Hollywood, Mona Simpson
Anywhere But Here, Mona Simpson (not in Kindle, how raw is that?)
Red Sky Lament, Edward Wright (the best American detective novelist no one has heard of, and it's a crime)
Factory Girls, Leslie T. Chang
Infamous, Ace Atkins (who should be selling hundreds of thousands of copies)
Dying Gasp, Leighton Gage
Fire in the Lake, Frances Fitzgerald
Super Sad True Love Story, Gary Shteyngart
The new Sue Grafton, I forget which letter it is

So much to read, so much to re-read.

[Christopher Meeks]

I had to laugh because seeing so many people respond shows I'm not the only one buying books I mean to read but don't get around to. The four next to my bed are:

1. The Worthy by Will Clarke
2. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
3. Unaccustomed Earth by Jumpa Lahiri
4. Salty by Mark Haskell Smith

I then am going to my TBR bookcase and look at the top shelf (my really-I'm-going-to-get-there-soon shelf):

5. Terrorist by John Updike
6. The First Rule by Robert Crais
7. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
8. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
9. Drop City by T.C. Boyle
10. Last Night in Twister River by John Irving

Which should I read first? Any passionate feelings?

[Sandra Edwards]

I guess it's sorta CREEPY that I have 389 Items in my TBR list and about 30 more recently downloaded that I need to file!

Remembering why a book grabbed my interest is really difficult, I just page through or put in a random number of the 44 pages and choose something LOL

"Reading" has 18 in it atm ... this Kindle thing is really crazy!

[Victorine]

This is a fun thread.  Gives me a boost to see my name mentioned on some lists! 

Here's my TBR Pile, not in any order:

Crazy For You by Sandra Edwards
Equilibrium by Imogen Rose
Sleight Malice by Vicki Tyley
Powerless book #2 by Jason Letts
Fate by Amanda Hocking
Cries in the Dark by PA Woodburn
No Good Deed by Mary McDonald
Her Last Letter by Nancy Johnson
A Dance of Cloaks by David Dalglish

And I know there are more... I just can't think right now.

OK, here goes. I only allow myself 3-5 unread books that are not free at any one time. If I have that many, then I require myself to finish one before I buy another. So, I listed the four I presently have in bold.

3. Bloody Treason: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, by Noel H. Twyman (reading but not actively)
4. The Road to Oz, by L. Frank Baum (reading and essentially done but have a page or two left)
5. Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo (reading but had to take a break since it is SO SAD)
6. Shattered, by Kathryn Casey (bought but haven't started yet)
7. The New Sugar Busters, by H. Leighton Steward et al. (bought but haven't started yet)
