I’m not positive where I left off, so I will just continue on starting in September.
September:
Empire by Orson Scott Card
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
The Hours by Michael Cunningham (highly recommended)
Sweet Potato Peel Pie Society by ?? (I read this in two days at Lindsay’s site, super sweet)
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (I have never seen the movie and I liked this book a lot)
October:
God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
Getting Stoned with the Savages by J. Maarten Troost
Mistborn (1st in a really good fantasy trilogy) by Brandon Sanderson
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson
Peony in Love by Lisa See (tear jerker)
The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
The Shack by Wm. Paul Young
November:
Gone, Baby, Gone by Dennis Lehane
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (it’s a classic for a reason, great read)
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
She’s Come Undone- Wally Lamb?
I am on my 86th book now. Getting into the dense, heady stuff this cyclone season. Also need to check off the stereotypical reading of War and Peace, which many Peace Corps Volunteers throughout the world choose to do during their service. I will pick that up from Lindsay and read it in December/January. I thought my reading list would start getting smaller because I have limited my reading to at night before bed now that I’ve been much busier during the day with project work. But this hasn’t been the case, and I still manage to tear through my growing library. I am so glad to have re-discovered reading for pleasure and can’t wait to visit a bookstore back home.
