I’ve been thinking of retiring next year…
So
I can finish all the books that are sitting on my shelf just waiting to be
read.
I’ve been
collecting and reserving and buying books and even signed up for the Good Reads
Reading Challenge this year (challenge: to read 10 books in 2012) as seen on my
sidebar and my current count is only 5 as of June 2012. That’s nothing
compared to my friends in Good Reads who can actually finish tons of books in a
month. There goes my reading challenge then.
Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness continues to be my constant companion in the bag...
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin
Here are the books I’m still to-read and are just sitting on my shelf. Some of them are presents from friends and family.
The Island of the Day Before by Umberto Eco
Women of the Silk by Gail Tsukiyama
The Spirit Cabinet by Paul Quarrington
Four Past Midnight by Stephen King
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
The General in His Labyrinth by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Bourne Legacy by Eric Van Lustbader
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
As if that list is not enough, I‘ve been eyeing the following titles too
The Gospel of Judas by Simon Mawer
Procession of the Dead by Darren Shan
Oh well, if I have more alone time... And more budget to buy books... =D
You have some really awesome titles here. I will try to read one of your books here since it's been ages since I read something remotely intellectual. Usually, I just go for the cheesy romance novels! hehehe :D You should read and watch Jane Eyre. It's one of my favorite novels. hehe
ReplyDeleteI've got this crazy policy not to watch the movie unless I've read the book (crazy I know,) it's also one of my sister's favorite reads. =D I'm also kinda pressed for time hehe
Deletewow! i think you do have a library at home... stephen king is epic! have you read sidney sheldon's "the sands of times?" .. my old-time fave :)
ReplyDeleteHi Osie, I think I might have a copy of it somewhere, we have a Sidney Sheldon corner in our library too hahaha! =D
DeleteI've always wanted to read Anna Karenina!
ReplyDeleteMe too, but I didn't find a paperback copy of it so far. Someday, someday.
