I intend to read, in no particular order:
- Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
- Ian McEwan, Amsterdam
- Naguib Mahfouz, Between the Two Castles (or whatever the English title is - Dutch translation of the Arabic original)
- Kazuo Ishiguro, When We Were Orphans
- Zadie Smith, White Teeth
- A.S. Byatt (of course), Still Life
- Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
- Amin Maalouf, Identités Meurtrières ("Murderous identities", non-fiction about identity and how narrowing down one's identity to one single aspect, be it nationalistic, ethnic, religious,.. is dangerous)
- likely also Stieg Larsson, the last two books of the Millennium-trilogy
We'll see if I get all of those done, but as I'll be on holiday and not online much, that should give me much more reading time.

Yeah, dark is putting it mildly... it got bad enough that I'd hesitate recommending it.

That's the best way to kill your enjoyment - overindulge until you're sick of it.
