Only vaguely and it may be bound to change as I order new books. In order of priority:

Collected shorter fiction vol. 2 - Tolstoy
A Sportsman's Notebook - Turgenev
Re-read Hobbit+LOTR
Re-read Joseph and His Brothers - Mann
Pickwick Papers - Dickens
A new translation of Anna Karenina (Maude if I do)
Buddenbrooks - Mann
Arabian Nights
Re-read We - Zamyatin
Re-read Demons - Dosty (pretty low priority though)

I think that's all I'm really eyeing up right now.

I don't have a formal list, but I have a bunch of works I want to read.
Some of them:
>Schoenberg's Harmony
>The Koran
>The Bible, for the second time
>Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal
>Finnegans Wake, for the second time
>Campbell's Key to Finnegans Wake
>Bely's Petersburg
>Spinoza's Ethics
>main works of Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley and Hume
I'd like to read Kant but I have no idea if I'll manage in 2020. Besides the ones I've mentioned above, there are still books in my shelves I've been putting aside for a long while, books like Karamazov Brothers, Crime and Punishment, Mason & Dixon, The Recognitions, 2666, Anna Karenina, War & Peace...

Why so many rereads?

I have to finish the books I started from Mollison, Morris, Pieper, Volin, Bookchin and that Wabi Sabi book. There’s so much good stuff in my collection right now I want to get to: Wittig, Callaso, Cartledge, Natsume, Ellul, and that Born Under Saturn book. It is a shame to waste anymore time on this scummy antisocial media.
I did get the recs for these books from individuals here though. I’ll never know you, but I appreciate you and put up with the shit-flingers for glimpses of your care and insight. I have tried to give back when I could.
This board used to be much better than this. Sadly it will never be as good again, and I should accept that and move on eventually.

>Hobbit+LOTR
I ordered myself a couple very nice hardcover editions for Christmas so I want to read them just for the sake of the pleasure of the bindings
>JAHB
I've been thinking about it almost every other day for the last year and it's something my soul is really reaching for at this point, I find it hard to deny.
>AK
While I was reading it I felt very weary but in reflection I recall it very fondly, I think that might've been because in its way it can be a very overwhelming narrative. For that reason I think it's a book I'll enjoy a lot more the second time, thus being more familiar around the family relationships and the array of personages, which can be sometimes confusing at first. I also keep reading terrible things about P&V translation (which is what I read) so it gives me a perfect chance to read my first Maude translation of Tolstoy and see how it feels, since I also have W&P (though I don't plan to read that for a few years) and that Collected shorter fiction I mentioned both tl.'d by Maude.
>We
I haven't read it in about 8 years, it's super short and could easily read in a day or two, and I'm coming off the heels of Gulag Archipelago/Ivan Denisovich and it seems as good a period piece as any to read in the wake of that.
>Demons
I foolhardily started Dosty with Demons and it left me very confused. I recently finished Notes and C&P and I think, like AK (mostly in regard to the number of personages), it would be something I could more appropriately access, now being more familiar with Dosty's style, his characters, his psychologies, and his social dramas.
