Books I might want to read

This post is nothing more than I am sitting here, watching a not-so- good-thought-it-was-going-to-be-great movie and so am surfing the web.
I do this..I come across books that I think I want to read but then forget about them or remember I want to read em but can't recall the name. So, I am going to use this space to keep track. You can too! I would love to see some of the books you think you want to read...maybe I want to read them too (someday, when I have more time and fewer priorities)
Here is one I think Ellen would like

This is a book that I feel I should read (which is a whole nother catagory...Should Read Book)
John Adams (Paperback)by David McCullough

There are a ton others but the movie is over and I have to clean the kitchen.

Revisiting this post because I am about to go on a trip and am perusing through a list of "should read" and have come across several that I know I won't have time to read but want to at some point.
Here is one....
SNOBS by Julian Fellowes
The best comedies of manners are often deceptively simple, seamlessly blending social critique with character and story. In his superbly observed first novel, Julian Fellowes, winner of an Academy Award for his original screenplay of Gosford Park, brings us an insider's look at a contemporary England that is still not as classless as is popularly supposed. In this wickedly astute portrait of the intersecting worlds of aristocrats and actors, Julian Fellowes establishes himself as an irresistible storyteller and a deliciously witty chronicler of modern manners.
