For the record, I would've voted when I could. I've only read 7 of those 16, and none of the 7 is Bluebeard.

This would have been fun, oh well. At least this thread got me looking at the books on the shelves to see what I will read again.
I'll be starting with Breakfast, since it's a quick read, and might read Rosewater next. Also I need to pick up Bagombo Snuff Box and Hocus Pocus, the only two I haven't read. :)

Ok, I've read most of them, except for Hocus Pocus, Slapstick, Timequake, and Bagombo Snuff Box, so I'll try to participate as much as I'm able (but would prefer a Nabokov face-off!).

I'm voting for "Breakfast" in this round.
