Summer reading list.

I've been getting excited about the end of next week, because it means reading things I want to read and watching things I want to watch, and maybe drawing, and certainly lots of photographing. Right now my list of books includes The Autograph Man (Zadie Smith), Kafka on the Shore, The English Patient, Shake Hands With the Devil, The Rape of Nanking, and Starting from San Francisco. I'm always open to suggestions.
Furthermore, I'm determined to make good of my netflix account. Right now we have Brothers of the Head, Ed Wood, The Darjeeling Limited, The Pianist (I've never seen it), The Piano (David always thinks I'm making this one up), Annie Hall, Delicatessen, CSA, Taxi Driver, There Will Be Blood, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Lars and the Real Girl, Capote, 3:10 to Yuma, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Fur, and the old Funny Games.
Also, I'd like to try new recipes. Maybe a chutney.

Basically, this is me asking for your recommendations of every variety.
