Library card 3 years ago

I keep putting off getting to the local library (3 blocks from my home) for some reason. As soon as I get over there and get a card I can continue reading some of these top books.



I've already read 12 so far. 4 years ago

I have so far read
(from top 10)
—The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (#2)
—Brave New World, Alduous Huxley (#5)
—Catch-22, Joseph Heller (#7) (Great book.)
—The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck (#10) (Another great book.)
(the rest)
—1984, George Orwell (#13)
—I, Claudius, Robert Graves (#14) (Great book.)
—Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut (#18) (Great book.)
—As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner (#35)
—Lord of the Flies, William Golding (#41) (Also great.)
—The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger (#64)
—A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess (#65)
—Main Street, Sinclair Lewis (#68)

Sidenote: I did try to read Ulysses once. I got about 150 pages in and then realized I was so bored I’d keep falling asleep. I’ll have to try again at a later date.
