finish reading the books on my books to read list

Haven (temporarily I hope) given up on Brothers and Don Quixote I can at last say I’ve knocked two others off the list:
Finished Babbit in March – Sinclair Lewis is just not my favorite author – his characters don’t seem that real to me – mostly because of how they talk. They are more stereotypes.
Finished Saratoga Trunk in April – and surprisingly enjoyed it. The book is dated – some words you can’t use anymore and the liberal heroine does something that would be considered offensive today. But I liked the heroine and the descriptions of the time were fun. A romantic novel with enough descriptions of the time to keep me interested.

i’ve completely ignored reading these books – not a one have I read on schedule.
BUT – I’ve started Don Quixote – looong book but I’ve started at least

I decided to go with Chuck Klosterman’s “Killing Yourself to Live – 85% of a True Story”.

The Last Transmission is finished now. Good stuff, by the way. Moving on…

The next books on my list are:

Lord of the Flies
The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe
The Tempest
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (m. Kundera)
Fletch Won

I’m leaning towards Lord of the Flies. Any suggestions?

Just finished reading “As Intermitências da Morte”, by José Saramago.
Now I’m reading a compilation of assorted Greil Marcus’ texts called “The Last Transmission”.

Well, not much reading in easter, only a few pages; was in the mountains with a bunch of friends and most of the time was skiing or social time. Well, let’s see if there is more spare time this weekend :)

Done with 1. Wild at heart! Easter coming up, and that’s reading time, isn’t it? :)

...so why not make one here.

1. Wild at Heart (John Eldredge)
2. The New Testament (Bible)
3. Proverbs (Bible)
4. Jesus Freaks II
5. Afghanistan-bok
6. The Light Force
7. No Compromise (again)
8. Hitchikers guide to the universe

Currently reading #1, planning on finishing this week, which is a very good progress for me :)

So it was a tentative schedule anyway. And I’m still reading the book so I think I’ll get through it – might not be until the end of the month though.
