I made a list for this a while back because I was considering becoming a sorceror. I found 3 really really good lists out there, so I kind of meshed them together to make my own list. I lost this list, but I might still be able to do it from memory. Here it goes:

L1
--
Magic Missle
Chromatic Orb
Burning Hands (good for trolls)
Friends (if you already have a decent Charisma, good for shopping)
Spook? (I can't remember if this was the 5th, but with an up to -6 save, it's a pretty nice spell to buy you a few rounds of time)

L2
--
Acid Arrow
Mirror Image
Vocalize (some people disagree, there's an amulet you get later in the game that gives you this automatically)
or Resist Fear
Invis.
Web

L3
--
Dispel Magic
Haste
Skull Trap (not Fireball, ST is physical damage, FB is easily resisted magical damage)
Slow
I can't remember the 5th slot, either Spell Thrust, Minute Meteors, or something else I can't remember

L4
--
Secret Word
Stone Skin
Greater Malison
Emotion
I can't remember the 5th here, I think is was minor sequencer

L5
--
BREACH (the most important spell of this level)
Spell Immunity (particularly for the Abjuration spell of Maze (or was it Imprisonment?)
Lower Resist
Chaos
can't remember the 5th here. It might have been Fire elemental

L6- don't remember too well
--
True sight
Pierce magic
Mislead?
Summon Nishruu? (make sure someone can cast prot. evil 10')
Fire elemental?

L7
--
Warding Whip
Ruby Ray
Mordenkainen's Sword
Finger of Death?
Project Image?

L8
--
Horrid Wilting
pierce shield
either symbol stun or simulacrum

L9
--
Time stop
Spell Strike
Gate?

As I said, this is pretty much from memory and may be a bit inaccurate. Hope it helps though.
