What books do you want to read?

2026

Ask me if I read any of the books I mentioned in 2025. I did not.

But I have two additional books to add, authored by fellow bloggers.

2025

Oh man…I’ve started to put a few used books in my Amazon and Barnes & Nobles carts right now:

  • Anne Rice – The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
  • Charles Bukowski – Post Office
  • George Orwell – 1984
  • Haruki Murakami – Absolutely on Music: Conversations
  • Haruki Murakami – First Person Singular: Stories
  • John G. Neihardt – Black Elk Speaks: The Complete Edition
  • Ken Liu – The Paper Menargerie
  • Louise Erdrich – The Night Watchman

I love getting lost in Murakami stories.

What books are in the queue for you?

    Hello! I’ve got Kafka on the Shore! I started reading it some and I agree Murakami is sehr gut! Ya, and I have Dante’s Inferno and poems by Goethe too! That’s a great list Rojie!

        I only just downloaded it and I did not start reading yet, I must say that It’s much shorter than I thought

    What a nice mix of books. I tend to read what I write – lighter fare. Although I did just finish a terrorism thriller – The Drowning Game. I hope to be a little more diverse this year.

        Loved it! Great characters. Nothing dragged (so no skimming). Tense. Twists. Great ending. If you like the genre, you’ll like this.
