I'm trying to change that because, honestly, it makes no sense.
In hopes of me bettering myself, here's a little reading list I've put together (one for movies, coming soon). The list is obviously tentative, but definitely books I want to read sometime during the course of this year.
I should also mention that I'm currently reading Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life by Justine Picardie, and after that, I plan on starting Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Yes, it's a classic and all, but I'm really doing it because the movie is coming out soon.
- The Bell Jar : Sylvia Plath
- anything and everything written by Haruki Marukami
- Night Train to Lisbon : Pascal Mercier
- something by Proust
- something by Rumi
- One Hundred Years of Solitude : Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Lolita : Vladmir Nabokov
- Vanity Fair : William Makepeace Thackeray (really only because I love his name)
- Madame Bovary : Gustave Flaubert
- some auto-biographies
- The Little Prince : Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
- Les Miserables : Victor Hugo
- re-read The Catcher in the Rye : J.D. Salinger (as well as, some of his other stuff)
- Siddhartha : Hermann Hesse
- On the Road : Jack Kerouac
Everyone should make lists. They're pretty helpful, even if they are idealistic.
What books do you want to read?
