That appears to be a decent list darlin......
I've read some and have avoided some on there. I have two kids so I know the burden of finding time but if you can at all get back in the habit and read.....you might try Sedaris first as he is basically humorous essays but stay away from his latest " squirrel something?" It really sucked. Then try illustrated man or hill house which are both short story collections. In other words build yourself up to length and difficulty.
Have you read the fifty shades of grey series?

Thanks Dave, actually all the books on there I have already read at some point in my life. I did read Sedaris Squirrel book thing on vacation last year in Maine and Id agree it was pretty bad. Haven't read the 50 shades but I did read the Hunger games trilogy and it was phenomenal.

Fifty shades is being touted as mommy ****... young and beautiful and of course innocent (Anastasia) falls for dominate bizilliomaire ( Christian) .... a light weight bdsm tinted quick read but very popular right now....might fall in line with some of the groups you have joined here.

WOW, I thought I read a lot until I read your list... I have only read about 10 of the books on your list. LOL I did read 50 Shades. I read it tongue in cheek and laughing hysterically. The I had to educate my daughter that the author's views were subject to extreme ridicule! BY ME! So if you read them, read them knowing her take on it is naive. I watched one interview with her where she stated much of her information came from Wikipedia. Then I watched her interview with Barbara Walters. Watching her be as uncomfortable and embarrassed by Barbara's questions really made me question any authenticity from the author within her books. I am waiting for the third Crossfire book to come out before I read them. I have heard good reviews for realism. We will see... I do have Hunger Games books on the NOOK. Bought it for my son and daughter to read. I have not read them as of yet. I read Frey's book only because my mom read it and loved it. I read it and question my mom's sanity for picking out a liar. Then the media attacked and called him out, proving me right.
