Next up:
Nabokov - Lolita
Carter - Nights at the Circus
Dunn - Up the Junction
Cowan - Pig
Levy - Swimming Home
If I can fit them in, I'd like to finally get round to Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking trilogy.

Is that some kind of food?
Seriously though I do read a lot, but I'm not all that familiar with literary nomenclature.
