(no subject)
This is my kind of meme, baby.
Bold the ones you have read. Italicize the ones you would like to read. Strike out the ones you never plan to read, or started but couldn't finish:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - *HEART*
The Bible - Never read a verse. Never plan to.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien
1984 by George Orwell
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - I HATED this first bit of the book, and I don't think I ever want to touch it again.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - I never plan to read this. EVER.
All Quite on the Western Front by E M Remarque - I quite liked this one.
His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman - I didn't like The Golden Compass and saw no reason to continue.
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon - This book rocks.
Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy
Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne - I don't guess the show counts, then? Oh well.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - I don't believe I shall ever touch this one, either.
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham - Yay!
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens - I actually own this, but haven't gotten there yet.
The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - Don't believe them; this book sucks.
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran - My Dad saw me doing this and just handed this to me; guess I'll read it. *laughs*
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Middlemarch by George Eliot
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzenhitsyn
The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
-Her writing is utterly effortless. I am sooooooo jealous.
The Things They Carried, Time O'Brien
-I love this one so much for reasons I cannot explain to you, but it's profound to a disgusting level.
Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
-Then see Apocalypse Now. Trust me.
The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger
-Seriously, who hasn't read this? Who hasn't liked it?
The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne
-A Puritanical slasher's fiesta. You should see my copy. I love it so much.
Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
-I should take my own advice and start this over again so I can finish it. It was amazing for the first fifty pages before I forgot about it.
Fire From Heaven, Mary Renault
-This has no merit, but I love it to a degree that is truly stupid.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, David Eggers
-I haven't even come close to finishing this, but the first thirty pages are disturbing and somehow really beautiful. And it begins with "This Was Uncalled For". I mean, come on.
Off to Solo and Ensemble runthrough. Ooops.
