Books!

[rattyjol]

Because I just looked at my desk and realized that there are at least eight books there that I want to read/reread, plus one in my backpack, one in the mail, and at least two that I didn't check out of the library because I'd have to return them before I got to them. I also have to read two books from a list of eight for English this summer, and there are four that I'm interested in. Figured it was about time I started keeping track. Some of these were totally not pinched off kesdax's latest book reads post.

• The Awakening by Kate Chopin*
• Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides* (best last name ever, by the way, and only treva_fountain will know what I'm talking about)
