Book Lust/List for 2013

Last year, I made this post, largely for my own use at times of bookbuying and it helped me minimize my excursions at bookshops. Due to a combination of self-restraint, lack of availability of the books and tight finances, I didn't manage to clear that list out. So I have updated it for this year. Lets see how this year goes.
