So I just created this list of books I have to read for next semester (both for classes and for book club) I am really excited about it! So many different works :) I can't wait for the semester to start, though I do need to finish some other readings first :)
Here is the list:
3/2: Beowulf
6/2: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
10/2: The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer
24/2: King Lear by Shakespeare
27/2: The Sound and the Fury William Faulkner
3/3: Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
13/3: [Sic] by Davis Schneiderman
24/3: Hard Times by Charles Dickens
31/3: The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
3/4: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy vol. 1 by Douglas Adams
24/4: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
28/4: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
I think this is going to be a great challenge for me. I am especially looking forward to/scared about [Sic], both because it is a very different kind of novel - if you can call it that - than what I usually read (I have heard that it is half pictures, half text) and also because Schneiderman will come to the book club meeting, where we will be discussing the book.
I have read parts of Gulliver's Travels previously and I have of course also read The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Both will be nice re-reads though :)
So this is what I will be up to for the next couple of months and I am as mentioned before very excited about that :)
Hugs.
