The Book Biography

Perpetual favs:
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery - although now I can't remember if I truly like the book(s) or mostly liked the miniseries...and specifically Gilbert Blythe.
Birds Without Wings by Louis De Bernieres
A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

In the queue (and I actually plan to read):
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin - I don't usually like mysteries but this one takes place in Ottoman Istanbul and recently won the 'Mystery Writers of America Prize for Best Novel'
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Did Marco Polo Go to China by Francis Wood - I have a tendency toward conspiracy theory-esque and revisionist history books. And yes, I read the 9/11 Commission Report.

Books I'm glad I don't have to ever read again:
What to do before "I Do" by Nihara Choudhri
The Big Book of Wedding Readings
Celebrating Interfaith Marriages

Favourite non-book reading:
Travel brochures - I compulsively order them and plan imaginary trips. Recent readings Abercrombie & Kent's Indian Subcontinent/Sri Lanka/Maldives 2007/2008 brochure and Scott Dunn's Winter 2008 Catalog
Magazines - Us Magazine, UK edition of CN Traveller. Martha Stewart Weddings and Departures
