Hey /lit/, what's next on your to-read list?

Reading whatever I feel like at the moment with an intention to finish it. Poetry and non-fiction books go along with it. Sometimes it's hard to finish up non-fiction books, especially if they are big ones. They can't seem to hold my interest for long, and after few days, which i dedicate for fiction reading or other stuff besides non-fiction, the want to read a bulk of it comes back.

I'm reading all the major novels from the 19th century until today, so I can see the evolution in writing across the ages and shit. Still stuck in the 1830s, but now that I've reached Gogol shit's getting real gud.

Problem is I'll be 50 before I can reach present day.
