Below is a queue of the fiction books I'm about to read. Well, not quite a queue, as the order below is in no way indicative of the order I'm going to read it. Some books are in the queue for re-read, should I have time and be bored. Other books are marked for 'eternal re-read', which means I'm ever so likely to just pick it up and read random bits for fun. Because they're so darned great. I've only started keeping track of this queue for books I've read since about September 2004.
Brackets may indicate the number of times I've been through the book. Numbers greater than, say, 15, are estimates at best. Perhaps some indication of which books were good and which weren't worth my time to be added later.
