Books I want to read

I like reading. My problem is that I never have time. My preference has therefore been audiobooks. I am a multi-tasker by nature and as a lot of the things I do are mundane, I have brain power left over to listen to books as I go. Here are a few:
The Hound of the Baskervilles  This is one book that I am sure I could listen to over and over. One audiobook version I have listened to is rather dry in its reading but I am still able to capture the story and it draws my interest. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Sorcerers and Seers I got this for myself at Deseret Book but have been too busy to get very far into it. I have been a fan of the Tennis Shoes series since the first book came out in the 1980's and it has been one of my inspirations for my own writing.
The Secret Garden A friend of mine writes for another blog (http://www.politesocietymagazine.blogspot.com) that put me onto this one. It is an old classic and looks to me to be one that I might enjoy reading. It is one that I liked the movie for and that often leads me to the books. As it is the case most of the time, the book is bound to be better than the movie.
Treasure Island I have owned this book for years but never read it. I would definitely like to try to find a good audiobook reading of it.
