What should I read next?

At any given time I have several queues of TBR books (don't ask -- it's my own system, mixing formats and where I read and fiction or non-fiction, etc.). But anyway, I have a literal stack of fiction books waiting to be read and I can't decide which one to read next. So I throw it out to my flist: what do you want to see reviewed next? (No, there are no write-in votes, I'm trying to shrink my TBR stack!)

The Choices

[Poll #1791117]

ETA: &*@$%#! I misspelled "anthology" and you can't edit a poll after it's been posted.

ETA 2: Battle Royale it is! Don't worry, I will get to the others in due time.

I've read Battle Royale, as well. It wasn't that different that the real world, only less blatant. One thing that has always stayed with me is the dedication of that novel., which is spot on. Truthfully, I've just read two wonderful series (Jaspar Fforde's Thursday Next novels and Bernard Cornwall's Saxon novels, where I happily cheered against Alfred and for the Danes).

Shine seems interesting because it is such a contrast to so much SF right now. I guess I'd like to hear something to cheer me from my ocaisional bouts of depression and cynicism.

So go for that.
