What 10 books do you want to read at the moment?
Is there any reason for you wanting to read them?
Do you think you will get round to reading them and if so in what time frame?
1) The Unexpected Mother - I have started reading it and want to finish.
2) The Tales of Beedle & Bard - It is written by J.K.Rowling and I love Harry Potter.
3) Jordan Pushed to the Limit - I watched Katie Price's reality TV show and grew to love her.
4) The Extra Half Inch - I love Victoria Beckham and fashion and both of these combined in a book must be great.
I cannot think of any more at the moment. Hope you can!

Just 10? So far, in my goodreads.com account, I have 135 books in my to-be-read list, and I haven't added plenty more. It seems that everytime I discuss books with another fellow reader, I get interested in another series. It will be to much to list my choices of books here, but let it be said that I have lot of books that I want to read.
As for time frame, its hard to tell. Just to give you a fair idea, since the beginning of August until I've finished 15 books, hoping to make that at least 18-20, before the month ends.
As I have said before, too many books, too little time to read...LOL!

You must read really quickly to fit all those books in and do other things. I am correct in assuming that you do in fact do other things right? People say that I am a fast reader when I sit down with a book, I can read a good book in about 1 or 2 days, depending on the length, however a bad book (usually ones we have to study for college/school) take me longer since I really cannot be bothered.

Works full time, and is married. Thanks goodness..no kids..LOL..
Yeah..I'm considered a fast reader, and if I'm not disturbed I can read a complete paperback, probably within 3-4 hours. I read the last Harry Potter book in a complete day..like 10-12 hours...excluding eating and chores..LOL..

Well in that case there was not much point in you replying to this thread as you didn't really have anything to input to the discussion.

There are so many books that I want to read. I have been an avid reader since I was in fifth grade. I try to read everything that I lay my hands on. And because I read so many books, I realized that there are books that are good and not so good. There are some authors who write using the same plot and are just using different characters. Well, enough of my observations. I would now list the books that I want to read. Some of them are of the same authors.
by Paulo Coelho:
1. The Pilgrimage
2. Devil and Miss Prym
3. The Zahir
4. Warrior of Light
5. Fifth Mountain
by Nicholas Sparks
1. The Choice
2. Dear John
3. Three Weeks with my Brother
4. The Wedding
5.The Guardian
by John Grisham
1. The Appeal
2. Playing for Pizza
And so many more. These are just what I am able to think of for the short period of time while I am writing this comment.

"Playing for Pizza" has an interesting title. I am drawn by pretty covers, familular artists and interesting titles.
I used to be an avid reader, but recently I have not read much as I do not want to buy books (waste of money as I only read them once) so I really should get myself down the library, but since I have other activities that I want to do, I never have the urge to get off my bottom and go. I keep meaning to start reading again, but never get round to it.

I have read both:
7. Pride and Prejudice
9. How to kill a Mockingbird
I had to read them in my GCSE years and I am not a fan. I am more of a modern reader than a traditional reader. You might find them good reads though.
I do not understand how people can read more than one book at once, I just get confused and the plots get muddled in my head.
