Hi!
Delinquent blogger here. I blame summer. Really. The challenge is going fairly well. I've become a gym rat but I don't have a six-pack. Why? Three words: bread, chocolate, and wine (oh, and pasta). But that's just fine with me. :) It's about balance!
I recently watched 'One Week' with oh-so adorable Pacey... rather, Joshua Jackson... and I got to thinking: what would I do if I only had one year left on this here planet? Most of it's personal but one item I can definitely share: I promised myself that if I had one year left, I would read as many of the great literary classics as I possibly could. Inspiration wasn't far behind and now this is one of my goals.
Here is my classical lit reading list for the next year (my 25th on this here planet). Eek!
August: One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marque
September: Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
October: Death in Venice – Thomas Mann
November: Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
December: To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
January: Great Expectations - Charles Dicken
February: 1984 – George Orwell
March: Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
April: The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
May: Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
June: Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
July: Absalom, Absalom! – William Faulkner
If I have time: Les Miserables - Victor Hugo AND/ OR Mrs. Dalloway – Virginia Woolf
Yikes! :)
