I have been slacking really bad on reading this summer. So I have to decided to make a list of books that I must read by the end of the summer, or there will be dire circumstances. Well, most likely I’ll be pretty lenient with myself, but I am going to try and read these ten books by October. I mostly picked these books because, I’ve been meaning to read them and for whatever reason I just haven’t yet. Well enough of my rambling. Here, in no particular order is:
My Summer Reading List
Catcher in the Rye- J.D Salinger (I’ve had this book for years, and I just keep forgetting to read it)
The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams ( Another one that I’ve wanted to read for years and years)
The Trial – Franz KafkaI (Love Kafka, and I know this is a crucial piece of his)
The Brothers Karamazov – Fyodor Dostoevsky (Heard of this for years, but I’ve really wanted to read it since I read Slaughterhouse-Five)
On The Road – Jack Kerouac (I loved dharma bums)
Naked Lunch – William S. Burroughs (Tried, enjoyed it, fell out of it, and now I will try again)
Midnight’s Children – Salman Rushdie (I was reading about controversial books, and saw this, sounds great)
Dune – Frank Herbert (my parents have been telling me for years that I would love Dune, So I thought I’d give it a chance)
The Stand – Stephen King (Love most of what I’ve read of his, and I’ve seen the movie which is why I put this off so long)
The Girl Who Played with Fire – Stieg Larsson (just finished the first one of the trilogy)
(O and if anyone has any other ideas,feel free to let me know what books you really enjoyed reading lately or whenever. I am always adding books to my reading list, these are off a much bigger list lol)
