I am going to read like I've never read before these holidays. It's about time I started reading for enjoyment, again.

I am going to read like I've never read before these holidays. It's about time I started reading for enjoyment, again.

Oh my goodness this is what I've been planning for the last two years
After my last exam I am picking up a book and not stopping all summer
It is almost ridiculous the amount of books I've collected over the last couple months in anticipation for 33 days time

1. In the lake of the woods (Tim O'brien)
(about love, war, life. Absolute perfection imo)

3. Great expectations - charles dickens
4. pride & prejudice - jane austen
5. Holes: Louis thatcher

Cloudstreet is very good - also The Turning, Dirt Music and Breath, to name a few.

I read The Turning before  :)But don't like Breath, gave it up half-way 

[Soul_Khan]

Book of Genesis is pretty good, I reckon. Read it last night. Much recommended.

I've started it also, it's definitely a change! I like it though, it's still the same brilliant writing style of J.K's that we've come to know and love

Re-reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.

If I'm successful, I'll finish by like March because it's that fucking long.

But it's good though <3
