The list. — 8 months ago
One of my resolutions for 2008.
I noticed that since I dropped literature as a major I haven’t been reading nearly as many books as I used to (as obvious as that might seem). In an attempt to rectify this, I resolve to read – at the very least – ten new books for 2008. Cover to cover. Books for school that I probably won’t read entirely won’t count.
1. The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah (2004), Stephen King
2. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (2006), Haruki Murakami
3. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (1991), Haruki Murakami
4. The Simple Art of Murder (1950), Raymond Chandler
5. Soon I Will Be Invincible (2007), Austin Grossman
6. Monkey (1942), Wu Cheng’En and Arthur Waley (tr)
7. Serve the People! (2007), Yan Lianke
8. Out (2004), Natsuo Kirino
9. South of the Border, West of the Sun (2000), Haruki Murakami
10. Hellboy #1: Seed of Destruction (2003), Mike Mignola and John Byrne
