I put together a summer reading list for myself yesterday. I really want to get through all of these books by the end of the summer, but I'm not sure if I will quite make it because I'm taking three summer classes so that I may hopefully graduate in August.
Anyway, here is my list:
1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. The Devil in the White City
4. Battle Royale
5. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
6. And the Sea Will Tell
7. Helter Skelter
8. The Family
9. ABC Murders
10. Slaughterhouse-Five
11. Garden of Eden
12. Animal Farm
13. Fight Club
14. Moby Dick
15. I am Legend
16. Cat Among the Pigeons
17. 1984
18. The Long Walk
19. The Chocolate War
20. On the Road
21. 30 Days of Night
22. Brave New World
23. Catch-22
24. The Mist
25. The Da Vinci Code
I had originally made a list with 50 books that I had intended to read this summer, but my friend insisted that it was too ambitious with the three classes that I am taking. I have since narrowed the list down to 25 books.
I started and finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower yesterday and have started both A Clockwork Orange and The Devil in the White City today. I will be very happy if I am able to finish at least half of this list by the end of August and I'm looking forward to the books that I have picked up from the library to read.
My friend wants me to read the Twilight series, but I have not put it at the top of my reading priorities list. I will get to it eventually for her sake.
Anyone have any suggestions for my list? Would you add or take away anything? Or could you recommend something that you really enjoyed reading? Let me know!
