This blog is all about the books that I am going to be reading both mandatory reading and pleasure reading throughout my senior year of high school. I find a great pleasure in reading and have very diverse tastes. This blog will help we reflect on the experiences I have through reading the books I want to read and sometimes the ones I don't want to read. Right now I'm in the middle of Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
I also have a summer reading list that I haven't really put a dent into but I figure whatever I don't get to read this summer I'll just read during the school year. My goal is to become attuned to different styles as well as find more respect for the classics and move farther away from the trashy teen reads that I loved so much throughout high school.
To my readers: If you reading something especially interesting let me know I'm looking for something new and fun to read.
My summer reading list is:
The Fountainhead: Ayn Rand
Catcher in the Rye: JD Salinger
Catch-22: Joseph Heller
Atlas Shrugged: Ayn Rand
Fahrenheit 451: Ray Bradbury
The Time Traveler’s Wife: Audrey Niffenegger
Anna Karenina: Leo Tolstoy
Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: Lewis Carroll
1984: George Orwell
Animal Farm: George Orwell
I tried to read Catch-22. I don't think you'd like it. It is a satire, I believe. But it is very, very strange.
ReplyDeleteI've heard Catcher in the Rye is good. John Green did a kind of review/book club thing on youtube.
I've read Fahrenheit 451, The Time Traveler's Wife, 1984, & Animal Farm and those were all really good(:
I'll definitely enjoy reading this, this year!
