Summer reading list, Part Deux

Jun 29, 2010 00:05

I have resolved to read a lot this summer, like I did two summers ago. Here was my last book list:

Brave New World -- Aldous Huxley
The Man in the High Castle -- Philip K. Dick
The Stranger -- Albert Camus
The Myth of Sisyphus -- Camus
The Old Man and the Sea -- Hemingway
Naked Lunch -- Hemingway
Of Mice and Men -- Steinbeck
Flow my tears, the policeman said -- Philip K. Dick
The Memory Keeper's Daughter -- Kim Edwards
A Complicated Kindness -- Miriam Toews
No Country For Old Men -- Cormac McCarthy
Love in the Time of Cholera -- Gabriel García Márquez (Thanks Steff!!!)
The Brothers Karamazov -- Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Time Traveler's Wife -- Audrey Niffenegger
The Kite Runner -- Khaled Hosseini
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -- Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking Glass -- Lewis Carroll
All the Pretty Horses -- Cormac McCarthy
The Road -- Cormac McCarthy
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? -- Philip K. Dick
A Scanner Darkly -- Philip K. Dick
Orlando - Virginia Woolf
Ms. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf
Anna Karenin - Tolstoy
The Road to Wagan Pier - George Orwell
A Great and Terrible Beauty - Libba Bray
Rebel Angels - LIbba Bray
The Sweet Far Thing - Libba Bray

Last time I was in London, I grabbed a book off my shelf to take with me to the countryside. It just happened to be Anna Karenin, so I suppose that is the one I'll start with. I'll begin it tonight. All 850-something pages of it.

Once again, if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to share them! I am always open to new concepts and authors, though I tend to not be a fan of science fiction (no offense to those who enjoy it, I just have trouble immersing myself in a world full of dragons and vikings and shit.)

Let the reading begin! And remember...


reading, summer, nerds, books
