sure. Mods should motivate the members. Which one caught your fancy? When are you going to read it? sooner or later?:P

[Gorab, TheGunman]

I'm eyeing Blindness and Liu Cixin to start with from your list. don't know exactly when, intent is to read them both within this year.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

great. Let me know when you go for Liu Cixin, if I have time I will read them. I think they'll be better when one can discuss them. :)

[Gorab, TheGunman]

sure will let you know.

[Girish, The Good cop]

Missed this thread.. Great list Em!
I will also pick up Liu Cixin from the list. Plus one of these days I will dare to pick of 1Q84.
