Now you, my dear, are most impressively well-read. Brava!
Kinda comes with the territory. :)
I notice that you marked "The Time Traveler's Wife" as a "won't read." It's in my "to read" stack currently. Do you know something about this that I don't know?
Nope. Just read the back cover blurb a while back and decided, "Hm. Nope, not interested." Of course, unless it becomes a movie there's always a chance that it may end up on a school summer reading list for a course I'm teaching, in which case I may end up reading it after all, but for now I've got far too many things on my "must-read" list.
BTW, of all the items on that list probably one that I can recommend as being little-known but superlative is Cloud Atlas. It would take me a long time to describe it properly. Suffice it to say it's really quite like nothing else I've ever read, and is quite a masterful experiment in storytelling.
