On my bookshelf

I love a good book (contemporary literature preferred), but I think I might enjoy the hunt for a good book even more. This past weekend, we visited my favorite used book store in Chicago, Myopic Books, to pick up some new reads.

This time, I brought my "To Read" list, downloaded from Goodreads because if I don't come  prepared with a list, I could spend hours scanning the bookshelves. If I haven't mentioned it before, I'm a huge fan of Goodreads for keeping track of books I want to read and for checking out which books my friends are reading and enjoying.

I'm pretty happy with my haul! Have you read any of these books? What is on your bookshelf these days?

1. Plainsong by Kent Harfug

2. A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan: Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize

3. The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

4. Snow by Orhan Pamuk
