Birth Year Reading Challenge or Why It Is All Rose City Reader's Fault

My intrepid list-making and reading friend over at Rose City Reader joined this challenge and I couldn't resist after looking at some book lists and thinking about it.  Thanks to the bloggers at Hotchpot Cafe for sponsoring the Birth Year Reading Challenge!

Here's the part where I reveal that I am approaching older than dirt, although I like to think of myself as an aspiring adult.  I was born in 1963 and there were some good books published that year.  Here's what I'm thinking of reading for this:

• The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
• That Summer in Paris by Morley Callaghan
• The Collector by John Fowles
• The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carre
• The Group by Mary McCarthy
• City of Night by John Rechy
• The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark

I might not read all of these and might add or subtract from the list, but this looks like a really good list with plenty of variety (and all available at my library - a big part of choosing this sort of list).
