But now I don’t have a book or school. Without school, I can’t check out a book and with the X-mas season I can’t buy myself a new one! What a pain. I guess I’ll just read what I can get for the time being.

I’m thinking of dropping every book on my list and starting it from scratch. In my life right now I’m having some kind of internal realization with a lot of things.
Either way, I will keep some books but most will just be scrapped. The List is way too long and some of them I probably won’t have much interest in either way.
Plus, some which are further down I’m way more interested in than others.
The Way Of All Flesh Samuel Butler
Maurice Guest Henry Handel Richardson

I finished reading A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson, and now I am reading The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway.
I finished Of Human Bondage and now I’m reading Crime and Punishment, but my list after Of Human Bondage nearly quadrupled so I think it will be quite some time before I complete this goal.
It doesn’t matter though, because it’s more about doing things that you want to do, not just being able to say you’ve done them.
I finished The Secret Life Of Bees and I just checked out Of Human Bondage! I keep adding more books onto my list, but I’m reading a little faster than I’m adding so, hopefully, I will eventually be able to start my list all over again.
I’m currently reading The Secret Life Of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I never read it previously because my mother bought it for me, and we were fighting.
But right now I really want to read this book, and I’m glad I’ve started it. I’m also trying to mend things with my mother. :)
