I've always wanted to read Billy Budd after listening to the opera.

Well I just started Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead but it turns out it's not actually a list book like I thought it was lol. Oh well, I'm enjoying it so am going to finish it and will start a list book afterward. I haven't read in forever and it just feels good to be reading again period.
In the First Circle for a group read starting tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to reading this one!
Junky- my third Burroughs. It's short and after one read it's already half finished, but there is a lot of information in it so it's quite dense for its size.
The Remains of the Day by Ishiguro. I recently read his Never Let Me Go and really enjoyed it. "The Remains..." won the Man-Booker prize.
Started Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin. My first book by him and so far so good, heartbreaking to say the least.
I recently began the 5th book in the Dance to the Music of Time series, Casanova's Chinese Restaurant
Runaway Horses by Yukio Mishima. This is the 2nd book of his 4-part series called "The Sea of Fertility", translated from Japanese.

I've been reading The Fixer by Bernard Malamud. It won the Pulitzer Prize, but somehow did not make the list.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Chess Story by Stefan Zweig. The latter is a novella of 100 pages added to the '12 edition.
