the pile on the floor

so... waterstones is my evil arch-enemy in the cartoony version of my world, especially since they've taken to giving me a student discount. I've taken to stacking the books I have to read on the floor by my bed. In no particular order -

Zadie Smith - White Teeth
Jonathon Safran Froer - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Angela Carter - The Bloody Chamber
Neil Gaiman - Stardust (I found a copy at last!)
Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse Five
Ray Bradbury - Fareinheit 451
George Orwell - Animal Farm
Richard Leakey - The Origin of Humankind (yay non-fiction)
Gregory Maguire - Wicked
Salman Rushdie - Shalimar the Clown
Bram Stoker - Dracula
Edgar Allan Poe - Spirits of The Dead
Carol Ann Duffy - Rapture
Christine de Pizan - The City of Ladies
Dai Sijie - Balzac & The Little Chinese Seamstress
Oliver James - They Fuck You Up

And at this point, I'm going to bed. Sleep well, people. Not neccessarily now - just when you need to go to sleep.
