I have unread books in my room piling not because I do not want to read them but sometimes life has a way to catch up with you and some other times I just cannot resist and start re-reading books I love. Like for example now I am re-reading for like the hundredth time “Cold Mountain”. What is funny is that the first time I read that book I couldn’t stand it. It took me a whole year to finish and then for some inexplicable reason I picked it up again and this time I just loved it. Now it is one of my most favorite books and it makes me laugh how much I hated it the first time. I guess I should thank the movie, which I also adore, for giving it another chance. But, back to the point…
As I was saying I have lots of unread books in my room. I see a bargain and I buy them and then I store them. So I decided that I should make a small list of classic literature in order to motivate myself for some reading. I do not include contemporary/ non classic books in the list since I am a sucker for classics and I believe that I would be even more motivated. The goal is to see how many of those books I would manage to read during 2013 and to try to keep a review/diary in here.
THE LIST:
| Titles | Authors |
|---|---|
| A tale of two cities | Charles DIckens |
| A Passage to India | E. M. Forste |
| Agnes Grey | Anne Brontë |
| Anna Karenina | Leo Tolstoy |
| Bleak House | Charles DIckens |
| Ivanhoe | Sir Walter Scott |
| Vanity Fair | William Makepeace Thackeray |
| Middlemarch | George Eliot |
| Mary Barton | Elizabeth Gaskell |
| On the Road | Jack Kerouac |
| Lolita | Vladimir Nabokov |
| The Mayor of Casterbridge | Thomas Hardy |
| The Phantom of the Opera | Gaston Leroux |
| The Scarlet Letter | Nathaniel Hawthorne |
| War and Peace | Leo Tolstoy |
Well, I have no idea where to start, I just know that the Russian books go to the end simply because they are so large and right now I am not feeling like it. I would love a suggestion, if anyone is actually reading this.
