summer 2O1O

so I've decided that rather than date stupid boys this summer I'm going to do something productive, I feel like I've been slacking on reading lately. For real, I'm usually the type of person who can go through about a book a week, but I haven't actually read a book in ages, so the mission for this summer is to read a book a week.. not just any book though, I want to read books that will actually influence the type of person that I am.

So here it is; summer reading list 2O1O

1. Catcher in the rye; J.D Salinger
2. Great Expectations; Charles Dickins
3. Alice in wonderland; Lewis Caroll
4. Night; Elie Wiesel
5. Les Miserables; Victor Hugo
6. Flowers for Algernon; Daniel Keyes
7. The Odyssey; Homer
8. Atlas Shrugged; Ayn Rand
9. The Last Lecture; Randy Pausch
10. Go Ask Alice; Anonymous
11. Interview With A Vampire; Anne Rice
12. Into The Wild; Jon Krakauer
13.The Bell Jar; Sylvia Plath

well here's hoping...



UPDATE
so far I haven't done to well with my summer reading list; I've read 3 of the 13 books are we are now in July.

-Catcher in the Rye was amazing.. I may have fallen for H.Caufield I like damaged people.
-Flowers for Algernon was a phenomenal book that I would recommend to anyone. It really makes you appreciate the small things in life.
-Go Ask Alice touched me as much as Nikki Sixx's heroin diaries, hard drugs scare me more than anything else in the world.

That's not to say I haven't read other books this summer but I need to get this reading list done, and stop worrying about the soap opera that my life has turned into.
