Another look at society through a book. Feh. I either just don’t like them or I shouldn’t be listening to them at the gym.
How to create a list of 100 must-read books and read them.
It made me
well read! 
"To me reading is an outlet. And by creating a list I always had a book on hand to read when the world became to much."
How I did it: I first started by writing a list of books I have always wanted to read. Then I looked up lists of books that one should read before they die. Then I simply went to the library and walked through the stacks if a book stuck out I would read the summary if it sounded like it had meaning I would read it and some of the books I picked were simply amazing.
Lessons & tips:
- Take your time and just read. If you are reading a book and just cannot get into it continue to read pass that and you may just find your self a good book.
- Talk to friends or librarians they usually have read a book or two.
- Do not try to read a book just because it is a classic and some site said you should if it does not interest you,you will never finish it.
- With that last one, find books that interest you and go from there.

Oh dear. This might be a bit of an ambitious goal seeing as I never read! Don’t get me wrong I like reading and I’d love to be more well read but I never seem to find the time! This goal’s been on my list for ages and I haven’t even started yet! Time to get reading then! :)

This was read by the same guy who read The Jungle. So, at first, hearing his voice in relation to the story of an immigrant family just made me cringe a bit. But, it wasn’t like The Jungle. (Phew!) I liked it. :)

Wow. Talk about not uplifting. These people just couldn’t catch a break. Don’t get me wrong, it was great. I liked it a lot. But, man, it was not uplifting.

Tada! I liked it. I listened to this one at the gym, so I was glad it was short. I didn’t know what to expect since the movie version I’d seen was a romance. This was not. :)

I read this in at the beach this year. It totally sucked me in! I loved every moment of it. Noah Gordon creates characters that make you care about them and want to know more. The story of the time period and some of the cultural aspects is awesomely fascinating! Definitely worth picking up!

Well, this was really short. It’s just slight, I guess. It felt like frothy nothing. It’s about societal judgment and personal indiscretion. Feh.
Invisible Man is next.
