So far, in the year 2010, I have read 36 books, which means there are only 16 weeks left in the year and I only have 16 books left to read. I have more than 16 books that I want to read, so I have to make a list of the most important ones. Here's the list:
- The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium #2), by Stieg Larsson
- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Millennium #3), by Stieg Larsson
- Catching Fire (Hunger Games #2), by Suzanne Collins
- Mockingjay (Hunger Games #3), by Suzanne Collings
- The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
- The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
- Atonement, by Ian McEwan
- Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
- Desperation, by Stephen King
- Everything's Eventual, by Stephen King
- The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
- Confessions of a Shopaholic, by Sophie Kinsella
- The Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson
- Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer
#16, I can't decide. I have a decent selection of books at home, but I just don't know what to end the year with. I've thought about ending with The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett, but I'm not entirely sure. I started that book about two years ago and only got about 50 pages in before giving up. Other options are:
- The Last American Man, by Elizabeth Gilbert (loved her writing in Eat, Pray, Love)
- Deception Point, by Dan Brown
- Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown
- Icy Sparks, by Gwyn Rubio
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
- The Horse Whisperer, by Nicholas Evans
- Eragon, by Christopher Paulini
...just to name a few.
I'm also willing to purchase a book, since I have a ton on my list anyway, all of which can be viewed on my Goodreads account. Any suggestions?
