now, as mentioned seconds earlier, adult me is not pleased with this turn of events. i know i missed out on some serious goodness...and i'm going to change that.
thanks to the 100 best novels list, i've discovered (at least) 5 classic books that i genuinely, honestly, want to read. i'm totally drawing from the user's list, because i feel like it's similar to using blogger review suggestions etc.
by Ralph Ellison
by Harper Lee
by H.P. Lovecraft
by Douglas Adams
by William Faulkner
and just to brag, here are the books off of the 100 best novels i HAVE read. i'm not a total bum, you know.
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald (loved)
Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger (meh)
Lord of the Flies - William Golding (LOVED)
Beloved - Toni Morrison (loved)
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card (liked)
Watership Down - Richard Adams (LOVED)
I from the south so I may be a little biased, but TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD is probably the best book I've ever read. Seriously. If you only read on from that list, make it that one. Harper Lee is my hero. :)
