booksbooksbooks

here is the list. not just any list, but THE list. it contains all of the books i wish to read before my first day at college.

  • The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
  • Lord of the Flies - William Golding
  • American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
  • A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
  • The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
  • Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell
  • To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
  • Paper Towns - John Green
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J. K. Rowling
  • Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? - Louise Rennison
as i have mentioned before (here), they all have different reasons behind wanting to read them, and i doubt not that the list will continually change and grow like a moody adolescent straining to fit into todays social environment. but fear not, edits will be listed below, and i hope to dedicate one blog to each book.
wish me luck

SUCH a great list! i've read (and loved) most of these. you're in for a great summer! i think it's really admirable that you're taking this on before your first day of college. good luck!

p.s. i think you're right - everybody looks forward to cheesecake. :)

Wow.
I just was going to tell you that that's a good list of books, but then I looked again and realized the only one I've read is To Kill a Mockingbird. I do love me some Steinbeck, though, so I do plan to read The Grapes of Wrath sometime.
