Summer Reading: Part One
The list for my Novel-Writing class is like ten books long, but I'm cramming spme pleasure reading in there, too. Here's what I've read so far this summer.
Lisey's Story by Stephen King. Truly a heartfelt and meaningful peace of writing. My favorite by King to date.
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Scarily possible. An important book.
Duma Key by Stephen King. A good read. You can tell he cared about what he was writing. And some of his prose in this one is brilliant.
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. A very clever satire, with a good amount of hilarity. However, fairly easy to put down.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Nice voice and emotional punch. Very effective. Good stuff.
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. Very short, very engaging. Again, you can tell it wasn't written just for money.
That's the start of it. Much more to come by the end of the summer.
