I’ve been happily enjoying a CS Lewis reading blitzkrieg.  I’ve read or reread 6 of his books so far and right now am working on “Out of Silent Planet” and the rest of that trilogy.  I feel like there are always way too many books that I want to read compared to how much time I have to read them.  I wish I could devote a lot more time to it because I love reading and there’s a lot of books that have me interested.  Yesterday I put together a list of some books that I hope to get to soon:

• The Pilgrim’s Regress – Lewis
• Phantom Tollbooth (Reread)
• Bambi vs. Godzilla  (Reread)
• The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay – Chabon
• Freakonomics – Levitt and Dubner
• A Short History of Nearly Everything – Bryson
• No Logo – Klein
• Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – Armitage
• The Secret History – Tartt
• Consider the Lobster – Wallace
• The Year of Magical Thinking – Didion
• Gilead – Robinson
• The Tipping Point – Gladwell
• The Road – McCarthy
• Life of Pi – Martel
• War and Peace – Pevear and Volokhonsky
• Bad Science – Goldacre
• White Teeth – Smith
• The Plot Against America – Roth
• Everything is Illuminated – Foer
• Eats, Shoots, and Leaves – Truss
• If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things – McGregor
• Blank Slate – Pinker
• The PowerBook – Winterson
• Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned – Tower
• The Ascent of Money – Ferguson
• The Carhullan Army – Hall
• Children of Men – James
• Traveling Mercies – Anne Lamott

I also recently got some great suggestions from friends on Facebook which I need to look up.  Do you have any more suggestions of book I need to read?  Or have you read any of these?  Would you recommend them?
