Ashley Ream

This is how I'm going to die. It's my to-be-read pile, and I must admit it is significantly less deadly since I fell in love with my Kindle. The pile sits ominously - and yet enticingly - on my headboard, and considering Southern California's habit of shaking like the devil, it will probably topple down onto my head, leading to an inoperable brain injury. Or at the very least a bruise.

Of course, now that I've photographed it, I suppose it's the metal lamp with the sharp, skin-slicing edges and hot, searing bulb that looks the most likely to induce stitches and a less-than-flattering facial scar.

From left to right:

Goodnight, Irene

The End of a Primitive

Lost Dog

Winter's Bone

The Frugal Book Promoter

Life is a Series of Presentations

Hoodtown

Queenpin

Thirty-Three Teeth

A Date You Can't Refuse

Lie in the Dark

Rain Fall

Summer of the Big Bachi

On the Kindle:

A Bad Day for Sorry

Secondhand Spirits

Born to Run

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Moby Dick

I've got to read faster.

So what about you? What's on your list?
