This year's absurdly ambitious (as ever) vacation reading stack:

The themes:
- Dystopia
- Love
- Music
And my obligatory Summer mainstays:
- Modern Library editions (double book score for the Ellison on music)
- At least one John McPhee
- At least one Western
- At least one Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- At least one YA lit (double book score for Anderson's dystopian Feed)
I look forward to reading perhaps 30% of these and the other books that I will doubtless pick up along the way. On that note: not pictured is Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, acquired mid-journey.
