So I decided to up my book reading challenge to 25 for the year. See Below:
But this is going to include the novels that I will be reading for this last semester as well. These include:
My Antonia By: Willa Cather
Black Boy By: Richard Wright
Daisy Miller By: Henry James
Their Eyes Were Watching God By: Zora Neale Hurston
The Age of Innocence By: Edith Wharton
The Great Gatsby By: F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Sun Also Rises By: Ernest Hemingway
Catcher in the Rye By: JD Salinger
and possibly more... So that's 8 right there. :-)
Plus currently I am reading:
Room By: Emma Donnahue
Shopgirl By: Steve Martin - a re-read. One of my favorite books.
Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat who Touched the World By: Vicki Myron
Room is very good. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will put a full review on here as soon as I finish it.
And Dewey is very sweet. Though Room is overshadowing it in my reading time right now, I hope to get back to it soon.
Pretty good start to the challenge though!
Other books I hope to read over the year include:
The Twilight Zone: 19 Original Stories on the 50th Anniversary
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much By: Allison Hoover Bartlett
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn By: Betty Smith
Blackberry Wine By: Joanne Harris
Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant By: Daniel Tammet
Any suggestions for others to add to the list??
I just read Lolita. It's kind of creepy, but it's seriously the best-written book I've ever read!
ReplyDeleteOh and could you save your copy of the Sun Also Rises for me? ... I want to read that but there's no way I'm paying $13 for it on the Kindle (or 13 euro for an actual book here!).
"The Fixers" - about the two guys who covered up everything at MGM studios, including creep Clark Gable's version of fatherhood after his visit to Truckee.

"Fear on Trial" by John Henry Falk
