I am really excited about starting this reading journey. I am thrilled to be introduced to new authors, genres, and styles of writing. The challenging part about this list will be rereading the books I have already read. Like most readers, I have known about Oprah’s Book Club for many years, and I have read a handful of them over the years.There are also a number of books on this list that I was forced to read in high school, which I am both looking forward to and not looking forward to rereading.
The list of books I have read by choice are:
She’s Come Undone-Wally Lamb
I Know This Much is True-Wally Lamb
Icy Sparks-Gwyn Hyman Rubio
Night-Elie Wiesel
The list of books I was forced to read are:
A Lesson Before Dying-Ernest J. Gaines
The Good Earth-Pearl S. Buck
Great Expectations-Charles Dickens
The list of books I couldn’t get through the first time are :
The Pilot’s Wife-Anita Shreve
We Were the Mulvaneys-Joyce Carol Oats
Middlesex-Jeffrey Eugenides
I am currently reading the newest book in the J.D. Robb series, Treachery in Death (the only futuristic mystery books I have read and probably will read). During the reading of this book, I will be debating which Oprah book I will read first. Any suggestions are welcome!
Awesome. You're it.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Another blog to follow! I am very excited about your direction, I have been thinking of adding book reviews and comments to my blog as well. I loved East of Eden, and I read Where the Heart Is but I don't remember it...
ReplyDeleteThanks for following!! Sharon, I'm excited to read yours :) I know most of the story of Where The Heart Is, and I've seen parts of the movie, but I've heard it was a great book.
