The list of books I want to read before I die is unbelievably long, so this challenge is a nice kick in the pants. The idea is to make a list of 10 to 20 books that I really want to read, and then duh-duh, read them. I'm staying small on this and sticking with 10.List of 10
- A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
- Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
- Howl by Allen Ginsburg
- Genius by Harold Bloom
- Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
- White Noise by Don DeLillo
- Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- Moby Dick by Herman Melville
I joined the Fill in the Gaps Challenge back in April, where you pick 100 books you want to read in the next 5 years to fill in your reading gaps. You can't change your selections, but you can fail up to 25%. I'm using my fail percentage for books I start and can't stand. So far, I've only had to do that with 4 (I've finished 32).
ReplyDeleteTrisha, I'm so glad you decided to join this challenge. I hope you get to read lots and 5 star books in the process :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda - Congrats! Finishing 32 in the first eight months is an excellent start.
ReplyDeleteDiane - I'm excited. Hopefully I'll stick to it as these are books I've been meaning to read for a long, long time.
Great list! I have actually read alot on this list surprisingly. Good luck with Gravity's Rainbow. It is a doozy
ReplyDeletePnP - Yeah, the problem with most of these books is that reading them requires effort; and I've been highly remiss in difficult books these past few years.
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided if I want to do this one or not. Good luck with the challenge though!
