reading list.
School is over tuesday. I'm more than half way done with a 10 page paper due tuesday, I'm working really hard on it, so hopefully it pays off. I only have one exam besides that tomorrow.
It's been a while since I have wrote on livejournal, and it's been a pretty eventful past couple of months. I had surgery at the end of April on my kidneys, which turned out to the most painful recovery I have ever felt in my life before. I was under the assumption that I would be drugged up for one night in the hospital, and be released the next day. I was very wrong, and I had to stay in the hospital longer than I expected, and in horrible pain. When I got back home finally I stayed in long beach for about a week, in which I watched movies, and tried any method of distracting myself from the pain. which meant watching television for solely entertainment value. They prescribed me oxycodene which helped mask the pain, but left me with horrible nightmares some nights. It was a really rough time for me, especially since school is coming to a close soon. but since that first week of extreme pain, it's been getting better more and more, and towards the end of june I will return back to the hospital to have the tube that is in my kidney right now removed, and then I will have two healthy working kidneys.
So besides that I wanted to write here to make a note to myself of what I need to accomplish (reading wise) this summer.
I plan to-
finish The New Trilogy by Paul Auster
then read
The Fall by Albert Camus
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
V. by Thomas Pynchon
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fittzgerald
Another Country by James Baldwin
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
more books by Paul Auster, and as much more as I can fit into the summer
any suggestions on good books to read?
