New books, new reads, new to-reads

Some of what I'm currently reading:

Bottom up: Trencherman, Eben Venter (2008; originally published in Afrikaans, 2006); Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (2010 ed.; originally 1902); Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell (1949)

I'm also attempting to start reading Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine (2007)

What is on my nightstand (and what I wish I were devouring instead): 

Bottom up: Sister Outsider, Audre Lorde (1984); Autobiography of Red, Anne Carson (1998)
Other new books:

Again, bottom up: Che Guevara (a biography), Jon Lee Anderson (2010, revised ed.); The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway (1987); Drown, Junot Diaz (1996); Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Edgar Allan Poe (2011 ed., originally 1908)

I wish I had Chimamanda Adichie's Americanah (2013) in this pile, too, but soon-soon.
