I have my spring/summer reading list and have already started on it, but just thought I'd jot it down here. I always love having a plan for the summer, but this list has to be shorter than years past because I'm still taking classes.
Les Miserables - 3/4ths the way done!
Scarlet Letter
A Tale of Two Cities
Oliver Twist
Swiss Family Robinson - finished this morning
Laddie - finished two weeks ago
Secret Garden
Treasure Island
Little Women
Persuasion
Emma
Middlemarch
Ivanhoe
Three Musketeers
Don Quixote
Red Badge of Courage
The Swiss Family Robinson was SO good and would be such a fun book to read to adventurous little boys. I also have my general idea for fall reading which I'm extremely excited about. My mom is doing my sisters' school theme on the middle East and Asia and has been reading so many books to get her started. So, when she starts reading to the girls for literature, etc. in the fall, I'm going to have finished the list above and be reading things right along with them. One book I'm really excited to start is called The Good Earth. I believe it's Japanese. I think this will be a much more enjoyable way to spend my time feeding my baby than just sitting there or watching day time television. I'm so excited and feeling very accomplished already!!
