read everything on my "to read" list

I have done some reading this summer, but few of them were on my “to read” list. I have read The Gambler (and re-read Crime and Punishment) by Dostoevsky; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a few Ludlum books, and am currently reading Dead Souls by Gogol, and a couple of other books I can’t remember. Every time I have gone to the book store, I pick out whatever appeals to me at the time rather than trying to remember specific things I wanted to read at some point.

Read the first 2 Dune books, and am on the third… only about a million books left to go!

The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto “Che” Guevara

blog! by David Kline and Dan Burstein (for the Diane Rehm Show)

Lolita by Vladimir Nabakov

I can’t seem to read just one book at a time.

All on my list:

The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera
Lolita by Vladimir Nabakov
Exile and the Kingdom by Albert Camus
L’étranger, also Camus

The last one, I’ve read many times in English (The Stranger), but I’ve always wanted to read it as Camus wrote it: in French. And now I shall! Aces!

I started working on my reading list on http://43.allconsuming.net. So at least I’m getting organized. Whenever I walk into a bookstore, my mind just goes blank and I can wander for hours trying to decide what to buy. At least now I can reference my list and try to be more methodical about it.
