OK, getting through The Bounty Trilogy
Just got House Atreides, hoping it is going to be an excellent prequel. Loved the Dune stuff, but never read this one...

Hegel, G.W.F., The Phenomenology of Mind: 200 pages in and I have no idea what he’s talking about. Only 600 pages to go.
Chalfant, W.A., The Story of Inyo: I should have finished this years ago.
Guterson, D., The Other: He’s a bit of a one trick pony.
Foucault, M., The Order of Things, An Archaeology of the Human Sciences: He’s a bit of French poser philosopher, No?
Dick, P.K., The Transmigration of Timothy Archer: Hey I forgot I had this in the queue.
Smith, A., The Wealth of Nations: Don’t hold your breath.

Great bump! I just spent a few minutes swimming in a sea of sweet possibility. Thanks!
I've read tons of books since the first posting, but haven't knocked any off this list yet. But I smile knowing they are waiting for me :)
My list has actually grown a lot from high quality library book sales. Will post up more titles another time.

Thanks for the bump, Nutjob! I enjoyed revisiting this thread.
I don't think I mentioned a book on your list that I've read a few times, The Iliad. The Odyssey too. Also read parts of both in the original Greek way back in the day.
"The rosy fingers of dawn...."
They are not technically books, but I have a shitload of Alpinists that I've not even cracked. Saving those for my dotage. The only exception is I did crack open the second Eiger issue to read Tami's Donini-esque work of art.
Sorry Tami, that was just too beautiful for the potty! Ha ha!

Green Mars & Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
I've read the first book Red Mars....The book is good but heavy on the psyche and very involved as far as sci-fi goes. It's one of those slow-moving stories rich in detail that you realize is really good only after you suffer and plod through the entire thing. After finishing the first book I was sort of mentally spent. I just couldn't muster up the right frame of mind to delve into the sequels so they have sat on the shelf for years. A couple of years ago I re-read Red Mars again to refresh my memory and make an attempt to finish the series... Again,I haven't cracked a sequel.
