2009 TBR Challenge

Since I'm already signed up for the Read Your Own Books Challenge, I was going to pass this one up this year. However, I have no will power. I do have a very rational reason outside of that. If I've already committed to reading 50 of my own books in 2009, why not list a few that I want to read for certain, right? :-)
