One day I really will finish On The Road...
Sarah's "When I eventually get to read, I'll read these first." Book List:
1. The Razor's Edge by W. Sumerset Maugham
2. The Hours by Michael Cunningham
3. The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
4. The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence
5. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
6. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
7. Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
8. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
10. In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan
11. Willard and His Bowling Trophies by Richard Brautigan
12. Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey
13. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
14. The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
15. The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
I have collected most of these from a book my mother and I just purchased called 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. There are definitely some things, in my opinion missing from it though. But it is still interesting a provided a bunch of interesting material. If there's anything anyone (that's you, Janay "50 Book Challenge" Bombino and Jason Yee) would like to contribute to my list, let me know. =]
