Part of the challenge of 52/52 is a classic a month. Here's what I'm hoping my classics will be:
1. Alexander Pope "Rape of the Lock
2. Sir Walter Scott "Ivanhoe
3. Charlotte Bronte "Villette
4. John Bunyan "Pilgrim's Progress
5. Oscar Wilde "Picture of Dorian Gray
6. Mark Twain "The Tragedy of Puddin' Head Wilson
8. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "The Hounds of Baskervilles
9. James Joyce "Ulysses
10. Virginia Woolf "A Room of One's Own
12. Jonathan Swift "Gulliver's Travels
(Had to add a few thanks to Tonia and her wonderful reading lists)
13. Herman Melville "Moby-Dick
15. Gustave Flaubert "Madame Bovary
I may not read in that order, but those are my classic goal books :)
Okay, I'm compiling a list of other books I want to read. The titles are followed by the reviews of other bloggers that brought the book to my attention.
17. Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven
18. Mistress of the Art of Death
19. Free: The Future of a Radical Price
20. The End of the Alphabet
21. No Country for Old Men
22. The House at Riverton
23. Freakonomics
24. Magic Kingdom for Sale
25. Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
26. The House at Sugar Beach
27. Your Kids Are Your Own Fault
28. The Quickening Maze
It looks like a great list - a few of those titles are in the Well-Educated mind list. If you want to see what the first ten books in the list of novels are, you can see them here - http://thesunnypatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/101010-for-2010.html
