So I'm back from my lovely jaunt at Pt. Leo did the Christmas thing, did the New Years thing and now
its
A brand new year.. how terribly wonderful.
I hope you all enjoy it. And while you're here, jot down any important dates for my calendar? Birthdays, christenings, national speak like a pirate day (along with all those other semi-official holidays I always miss) and more importantly when we are going to catch up!
Actually, it might be better to gimme a call for the latter but both are good.
More about everything later, maybe. |

Okay, so I can't be bothered grabbing some photos of Pt. Leo. But. It’s that time of year and here's the recommendations (everyone knows the beach is the second, maybe third, best place to read. Right after cuddled up in bed with someone who’s as lame as you and home alone in the backyard with the soft sunlight getting rid of the tan lines you got at the beach):
To Kill a Mocking Bird - Harper Lee The Crucible - Aurther Miller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - Mark Haddon The Book Theif - Markus Zusak The Virgin Suicides - Jeffery Eugenides Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll The End of the Affair - Graham Greene Of Mice and men - John Steinbeck The Outsider - Camus The Handmaiden's Tale - Margaret Atwood The Plague - Camus Shotgun (of course!) Kissing the Curve - alicia somtimes (poetry) The Eyre Affair - Jaspher Fforde The Monkey's Mask - Dorothy Porter (poetry) The NeverEnding Story - Michael Ende Nineteen Eighty-Four - Orwell (re-read. My copy this time) The Godfather - Mario Puzo Automated Alice - Jeff Noon Going Down Swinging no. 18 Voiceworks in general, and especially S.O.S and ZERO.
(and even though I technically read these this year) Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert The Princess Bride - William Goldman! (which is of course a re-read. But seriously. It’s fantastic. I love it to pieces).
The ones in bold are books you MUST read before you die. By simply perusing this entry you have signed a contract in blood that DEMANDS you read them before your last breath. Or else. |
