What's in your To Be Read Pile (TBRP)?
I always have a pile of books I am soon going to read, and having gone to the library this morning, it has grown quite large. Here is the list of all the books I checked out:
A Hidden Magic, by Vivian Vande Velde
So You Want to Be a Wizard, by Diane Duane
Unexpected Magic: Collected Stories, by Diana Wynne Jones
The Princess and the Hound, by Mette Ivie Harrison
Lady Macbeth's Daughter, by Lisa Klein
Dragon's Heart (Pit Dragon Chronicles, Book Four), by Jane Yolen
The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy, compiled & edited by Leonard S. Marcus
The President's Daughter, by Ellen Emerson White
Ranger's Apprentice Book Six: The Siege of Macindaw, and Book Seven: Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan
So there it is. As you can see, I mostly read fantasy. Anyone read any of these books/authors/series? What did you think? And, most importantly, what's in your TBRP?

Same RA books you mentioned.
The Boy In the Striped Pajamas
Daniel's Story
Pride and Prejudice
Alice in Wonderland
Wuthering Heights
To Kill A Mockingbird
Frankenstein
The Story of A Soul
Some Vivian Vande Velde books
Discworld
Confessions of An Ugly Stepsister
Some Ray Bradbury things
The short story in the Douglas N. Adams collection...
And probably other stuff... Actually, some of those I'm on like page 6 of, and Frankenstein I'm pretty well into, just taking a break. I still count those, though, because right now I've dropped all those to finish Son Of A Witch, which was part of the amazingly beautiful two-book Gregory Maguire thing that I got for my birthday, and I finished Wicked so now I'm on SOAW... *rambles*

Ooooh. *just went to Barnes and Noble* Other stuff too now.
The Looking Glass Wars (as recommended by Reuben)
Evil Genius (No explanation needed; the second I saw it it became mandatory, with a title like that.)
This Book Is Not Good For You (Okay, okay. I know I'm too old for Pseudonymous Bosch. But I wanna read it anyway. He entertains me. ;D)
The Islands of the Blessed (I totally squee'd when I saw this. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO COME OUT SINCE I WAS LIKE NINE. Sorry. Is that a little pathetic? Yes. But I was about ready to *dance* when I saw it there amid the trashy Twilight ripoffs. So, in summary: !!!)
Hacking Harvard (Been wanting to read it since fahevah; still do. Again, like Evil Genius, the title alone says it all.)
So yeah, ML is excited now. Despite having only actually *purchased* TIotB...

Wuthering Heights, the fourth book in the 39 Clues series, and The Oracle's Delphi or something like that, and Dark Secrets, collection2. That's about all I can think of right now.

Ooh, do you mean Young Zaphod Plays it Safe? I still haven't gotten Son of A Whitch, but Wicked was awesome. *pout* Oh, and by the way, if you're reading Discworld, Wee Free Men is amazing... *also rambles*
