How the reading queue keeps on growing (and growing)

I'm drowning in a sea of newly acquired books, a mix of charity-shop bargains, mooches and review copies. If only I could give up the day job and then I might get around to reading them all before the turn of the next century.

Here's what's in the pile from the top down:

• Time Out New York (a newly updated guide book for an impending trip to the Big Apple)
• Joseph Roth's The String of Pearls (a charity shop find -- have always wanted to read something by this Austrian author, who died in 1939)
• Rose Tremain's The Colour (another charity shop find -- adored her Music of Silence when I read it about nine years ago, and quite liked her more recent Orange Prize winner The Road Home)
• Chris Killen's The Bird Room (an ARC from Canongate, this book is by a first-time novelist and is due for publication in January)
• Richard Flanagan's Wanting (courtesy of Random House Australia -- am very much looking forward to this one, as I think Flanagan is a brilliant writer and he deserves a wider audience)
• Barbara Vine's The Brimstone Wedding (a mooch -- I don't mind reading the odd piece of psychological horror but I wouldn't want to do it all the time)
• Edna O'Brien's The House of Splendid Isolation (another mooch -- I'd like to read more by O'Brien, as I didn't quite get a real handle on her style when I read In the Forest back in 2006)
• Jennifer Johnston's The Christmas Tree and How Many Miles to Babylon (both mooches -- Ms Johnston is my new favourite author, so I just had to add these to the collection. I did read How Many Miles to Babylon when I was a teenager, but I can't remember much about it)
• Sarah Stovell's Mothernight (I bought this direct from the publisher Snowbooks after I read several favourable reviews online)
• Kate Grenville's The Idea of Perfection and Lilian's Story (more mooches -- I feel a deep need to read more by this Australian author. I very much enjoyed The Secret River, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2006)
• Bernard MacLaverty's Grace Notes (another mooch -- I thought the subject matter about music and motherhood set during The Troubles in Northern Ireland sounded fascinating. The book was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1997)
• Hilary Mantel's An Experiment in Love (another mooch -- having read Mantel's memoir I'd now like to read more of her fiction)

Any tips as to which book to try first?
