Summer Blues

Every summer I do this, why is this one an exception?

Book Wish List 2009

1.
The Icarus Girl - Helen Oyeyemi

2.
House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski

3.
Only Revolutions - Mark Z. Danielewski
(I'm allowed to have one repeating author...)

4.
Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy
(My copy got fucked up.)

5.
Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe

6.
4.48 Psychosis - Sarah Kane
(Any of her plays would suffice.)
She wrote that she was attracted to the stage because "theatre has no memory, which makes it the most existential of the arts...I keep coming back in the hope that someone in a darkened room somewhere will show me an image that burns itself into my mind."

7.
Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) - Tom Vanderbilt

Read read read.
