The Reading List 2007

Last year I posted a list of books I wanted to read and books I did read. Sadly I failed miserably in reading most of those books. This summer I will try again. Here goes.

Laura's List of Books to Read (in no particular order):

  • Cold Mountain - Charles Frazier
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling (duh)
  • White Teeth - Zadie Smith (Purchased for class, but we didn't get to it)
  • Brick Lane - Monica Ali (see note to previous)
  • Arthur and George - Julian Barnes (see note to previous)
  • Flags of Our Fathers - James Bradley (just need to finish it)
  • To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
  • Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut
  • The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger
  • Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
  • Band of Brothers - Stephen Ambrose
Not on the List, but Read Anyway:
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
  • Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
  • Beyond Band of Brothers - Dick Winters
  • Bridge to Terabithia - Katherine Paterson
Maybe I'll make this an annual thing starting every summer. We'll see.

I've got a list running of all the books I've read this year and another list of suggestions from people. Unfortuately, stupid grad. school is impinging (right word?) on my ability to breeze through 15 books this summer. Dang it!
