Top Ten Five Books I HAD To Buy...But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread
I got pretty good at reading my accumulated book pile last year so I don't actually think I have 10!
1) The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test - Tom Wolfe. This book sounded like something I'd love, it was my favourite era/setting etc, but ... I read I am Charlotte Simmons first and realised what a terrible author Wolfe was, so this is still unread.
2) Underworld - Don Delillo. This was an author I'd wanted to get into for a long time, and when I finally got Underworld cheaply on eBay I was really excited to read it ... but it's still unread!
3) Invisible Monsters Remix - Chuck Palahniuk. The reason I've not yet started this one is because I want to re-read the original again first, and I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
These next two are kind of cheats because they actually just came today but:
4) The Host - Stephanie Meyer. Research for my dystopia project.
5) The Handmaid's tale - Margaret Atwood. Research also.

I've been wanting to read THE HANDMAID'S TALE for awhile now, but still haven't gotten around to it. I don't know why -- just haven't made the time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get time to read the books on your list!
Thank you! Let me know what you think of it when you do get into it :)
DeleteThe Host is fantastic, you must read it! :) It's been a while since I read it, but I remember absolute loving it. Plus, with the movie release around the corner, I might have to re-read it. I also posted a TTT, so if you're interested you can find it here: wordshipping.blogspot.ca.

I just finished it the other day and I really liked it! The end was great, though I don't have high hopes for the adaptation!
