4. What is the What by Dave Eggers
5. The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie
6. Snow by Orhan Pamuk

10. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke**

*I have a tendency to stick to a small group of authors and read as much of them as i can find, so while i limited myself to one book per, I can pretty safely recommend the entire oeuvres of Mssrs. Murakami, Hornby, Mitchell, and Eggers, but making a list of only those authors seemed counterproductive

**This is actually a placeholder for all the fantasy I secretly (though it will be clear from this blog going forward) love. This is a fantasy novel that people who don't like fantasy novels will enjoy, but if you really wanted to read fantasy novels, it would be something from Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan or Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. Dork!

I can't wait. Though i do have a practical question...I am going to finish my current book before nov 4, but i wont finish the next one in the interim. what should i do?
