Quite an interesting list. I have a copy of Houseboy around here somewhere I need to finish reading. It might have gotten lost in the great book shuffle of '96.
I have a lot of the books on my list on my shelves already, too - got to catch up on those TBRs!
I like your list! There are some things on there I am planning to read and some other things I wasn't planning to read before but definitely am now.
I'd completely forgotten about this list as I have stopped blogging, however I have ticked off more than I would imagine.
I will come back and recreate the list, replacing those that I had read with lurkers from the tbr pile and repacing those few that I'm not that interested in reading 4 years on.
