The "ABC" Reading Challenge...Kinda
30 May 2013
So here's the deal folks, I'm not much one for these sort of internet challenges, but this one looked fun so I thought I'd give it a go. And wouldn't you know that it is far more difficult to find 26 books that start with different letters than I anticipated. As a result, I have produced this mess of a list of books I would like to read that sort of, dances around the alphabet if you will. I would appreciate it if you guys could give me suggestions in the comments. Also, no promises! I'm not guranteeing that I will be reading all of these books anytime soon, if at all. Wow, this post just seems to falling apart sentence by sentence.
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I guess it's about time; I read The Hunger Games two years ago.
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Even though Twilight made me want to throw up in my mouth and set fire to the saga, I've heard good things about this book.
The Other Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I mean, it's Fitzgerald so why not?
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I'd thought I'd give it a go. Just to be a good American and all that poop.
Northanger Abbbey by Jane Austen. Ha, did you REALLY expect me to make a reading list without including my favorite author?
Animal Farm by George Orwell. To be honest a fascist pig farm sounds like a nice shake-up.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. They made a movie out of it, so it must be mildly entertaining.
Inferno by Larry Niven. I don't much about this book other than that it was number one one the New York Times best seller list.
A Time to Kill by John Grisham. He's suppossed to be good.
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. It sounds sufficiently depressing.
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I enjoyed Oliver Twist, so I thought that this might be up my street.
Frankenstien by Mary Shelley. I've never read anything like this before.

From this list I've read Copperfield, Frankenstein and Animal Farm. (I'm into the classics)
A word of advice--Don't read Frankenstein at night. Trust me on this one.
Some of these other ones look really interesting. I've been meaning to read Northranger for a long time, maybe I should do that this summer.
Good list!
Oh, "The Host!" Yes, yes, yes! Finally someone else who is going to read it! (Warning: The writing isn't the best, but the story is SUPERB and the characters are vivid. They've become some of my best friends--minus a few obvious exceptions). I'd love to see a post on what you think of it when you finish it!

"Catching Fire" is excellent, but it's part of "The Hunger Games" trilogy, so what else would you expect? ;)
