Read or Dead

At the risk of going a bit linksmonkey-ey, I've been wanting to keep a list of "reads" on my site as a personal reminder-cum-suggestions-list. I seem to be getting through a few these days, so until I get a proper section sorted, here's a quick and dirty:

Done and dusted recently:
The Castle, Franz Kafka
Diary, Chuck Palahniuk
A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking
Look to Windward, Iain M Banks
The Vagina Monologues, Eve Ensler

Currently, and openly nerdily:
The Mammoth Book of Science Fiction!

After this, I must look up others in the "The Mammoth Book of" series, including
...Bridge
...Erotica (New Edition)
...Gay Short Stories (as opposed to Short Gay Stories I assume)
...Historial Erotica
...Jack the Ripper
...Vampire Stories by Women
(...and saving the best until last)
...the World's Greatest Chess Games

Now if that isn't a tangible meaning of "eclectic" then I don't know what is.
