And I Rambled

Most of these are things that have been recommended to me and/or that I’ve wanted to read for a long time, but that I’ve yet to get around to. So there’s a lot of classics on here, and I promise that’s not just me being pretentious.

1. Ringworld – Larry Niven (It’s possibly one of the most classic of all science fiction classics, and I own it. Why have I not read it yet? I don’t know.)
2. Flatland – A Square (Edwin Abbot Abbot) (It just sounds awesome.)
3. 1984 – George Orwell (A classic, and it sounds awesome.)
4. The Time Machine – H.G. Wells (Pretty much fathered all time travel fiction since.)
5. Dracula – Bram Stoker (I can’t go around hissing at Twilight-esque vampires if I don’t really know what a classic vampire is.)
6. Frankenstein – Mary Shelley  (A classic, and I just want to read it.)
7. The Picture of Dorian Grey – Oscar Wilde (His only novel.)
8. A Study in Scarlet – Arthur Conan Doyle (The first Sherlock Holmes novel.)
9. American Gods – Neil Gaiman (Recommended to me more than once.)
10. The Mysterious Affair at Styles – Agatha Christie (Her first published novel.)
11. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams (Is it very bad that I have not yet read this all the way through? Yes. Yes it is.)
12. Fool’s Experiments – Edward M. Lerner (Just sounds awesome.)

BONUS:
13. The Smokering – Larry Niven (I own it.)
14. The Da Vinci Code  – Dan Brown (Everyone either hates it or loves it, and I have a feeling I’ll like the concept but hate the execution, but I’ve got to actually read it before I can pass judgement.)

I’ll most likely review most of these as I read them. I can’t promise to review all of them, as sometimes nothing really jumps out at me, but some of them.
