Sadly, mine are all too obvious. I look forward to Sedaris, Pynchon, Rowling (sad but true) and The Collected Works of Pretty Little Flower.

A fine list, though I observe that Pynchon has, for me at least, declined in quality as he ages. On the other hand, Umberto Eco's works have continued to shine. Replace Pynchon, reluctantly and with heavy heart, with Eco for me.
Rowling is particularly fun with children who are into it, but I now add to Rowling several other kids' series (Droon, Protector of the Small). They can't really leave Protector of the Small as a four book set, can they? This would be sad.
And, of course, I have a secret love of Tracey Kidder books (though I've not picked up the latest). I know they're no heavy lifting, but I find them interesting in a conversational kind of way.
