At the beginning of every summer, I like to create an ambitious list of books I plan to read. Here is what I have so far, and it's roughly in the order I plan to read them:

Straw Dogs by John Gray (should only take a few days)
The World as Will and Representation by Arthur Schopenhauer
Basic Writings of Nietzsche by, uh, Nietzsche
Platform by Michel Houellebecq
Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy by Richard Posner

Ok, is that a great reading list or what! Now, judging by last year, I should enough time to read at least 2-3 more books, perhaps 4-5 if I really get on a reading kick. Now is your chance to shape my consciousness by suggesting books I should read. If no one responds I will just read Ulysses. Yikes.
