Reading list

In a bid to find something good to read AND save money, I have pulled the following off my own bookshelves, where they sat neglected:

• A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
• The Right to Useful Unemployment by Ivan Illich (and I'm still working my way through Deschooling Society)
• Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere by Jan Morris
• Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
• The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty (who has possibly the greatest name ever)
• Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
• Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
• The Post-Office Girl by Stefan Zweig (which I mostly finished a couple of months ago)

This all sounds terribly high-minded, given the intense desire to re-read Harry Potter that came upon me last night.
