I’ve only read 29 of them so far which is awful. I’m aiming to hit 50 by the end of the year which is quite ambitious for me seeing how little time i get to do something like read. I want to read ‘to kill a mockingbird’ next. If you guys had to pick your own personal favourite from the list which would it be?
Jane Austens books for sure; Jane Eyre; all the HPotter books; Little Women; Lord of the Flies; The magus; Memoirs of a Geisha; Of mice and men;Perfume; The Pillars of the Earth; A prayer for Owen Meany; The Secret History;To Kill a mockingbird; A town like Alice; Anna Karenina;Watership down to name a few! What about you?
Eimear can't believe her dissertation is finally finished
Jane Eyre, Lord of the Rings and Watership Down, but new favourites discovered through this list – Memoirs of a Geisha, I Capture the Castle and Rebecca. So Far!
procrastinatress is losing weight and gaining radiance!
(Mind you, I haven’t read too many of these)
I really like the hobbit, I remember my Mother reading it to me as a kid, reading it on my own and also reading it to my girlfriend as the second book she had read (well listened to) in English. It is a wonderful story but it is best as a book to share. I’m not good at reading aloud and taking voices for the various characters – but Gollum is so easy and it comes so naturally. Five years later my girlfriend and I can still make jokes with “my precious”. It is definetly the book I would want to one day read to my children, which I would first have to have and that is definately not in my 43 things list yet.
I would be surprised if my favourite changes when I have read the top 100!
