Books that I need to read.

I need to review the complete works of Franz Kafka. That includes both major translations and the nonstandard ones online. I also need to learn German.
Anne Frank's Diary; I find the history of Nazi Germany fascinating, from all perspectives.
The complete works of Terry Pratchett.
Something by HP Lovecraft.
George Orwell's 1984
I need to reread The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, since I never finished it and I forgot all of it.
The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus
Eagerly awaiting Bob Powers' You Are A Miserable Excuse For A Hero. Out May 27!
Goethe's Faust
Sun Tzu's The Art of War, which, despite that it has become common sense by now, is written in a terrific and poetic manner.
I'm halfway through Moby Dick, and I'm making astoundingly poor progress.
