the to-read pile

jwghIn a mildly distressing but all-too-predictable development, recently I've been accumulating reading material more quickly than I've been reading it. There are two things that I'm currently in the middle of reading:
1) The June 2007 issue of Asimov's. I just finished Jack Skillingstead's Scrawl Daddy story, which I didn't really get, and have left two short stories (including one by Neal Asher, who some of you may recall), plus a book review column and a poem by Greg Beatty.
2) The Diana Burgin/Katherine Tiernan O'Connor translation of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. This is the second translation of this book I've read; it is the more complete of the two, but the other one is a far more enjoyable translation. So it goes.
Those will keep me occupied for a little while, but once I'm done with them what should I read next?

If you have questions or comments about any of these options, comment away!
