I've got plenty of reading for school, but reading for fun provides a nice change of pace. Here's my fall reading list so far. Recommendations welcome! And if anyone can loan me books 2 and 3 for the Hunger Games I would be very grateful!
- Getting to Yes by Fisher, Ury, and Patton - technically this was assigned by my Negotiation professor, but it was a slim book that I enjoyed reading, so I'm counting it on the "fun" list.
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I finally checked out the bestselling novel about a post-apocalyptic world where teens have to fight gladiator-style, and I'm hooked. I bought it at a bookstore with Dan around 11pm, and was done by 3am. I'm looking for the next two books, and the waitlist at Boston Public Library is in triple digits.
- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee - no, I never read this in school, unlike the rest of the world. What a great book, I'm glad I finally understand all the references that have been made to it.
On deck:
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
- Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
- Little Dorritt by Dickens - started this book in summer 2009 and I'm 2/3 done, but haven't read it regularly in a year. I'll finish it someday.
