ChadTower:
I have Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and A Brief History of Time on my desk in the batch of stuff I got from last month's library book sale. I'll have to bump those up in priority. Need to finish 2061 and read 3001 first, though.

Sea life, yes. Dolphins, no.
Wait, there were a few dolphins in 2010. Heywood Floyd's house had a canal in the main room that led to the ocean and dolphins would swim in to be fed.
shmokes:
1- The World According to Garp - John Irving
2- The Amazing Adventures of Kavlier and Clay - Michael Chabon
3- The Three Musketeers - Alexander Dumas
4- Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut (I've got a signed copy!)
5- Memoirs of an Invisible Man - H. S. Saint
6- Danny the Champion of the World - Road Dahl (read this to you son before he's out of elementary school if you love him)
7- The Sun Also rises - Ernest Hemmingway
8- Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
9- Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
10- Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
At any given time probably 5 or 6 of those books would be different.
