Books, books, books.

[psyche29]

OK, so several people on my friends list have decided to try to read fifty books this year.

I like the idea, but there's no way I'll manage that if I set it as a goal for myself. This being the case, I'm opting to make a list of books - in no particular order - that I am wanting to read, and will cross them off as I do.

I am willing to entertain suggestions, though I reserve the right to not take them. Don't suggest vampire books, please - they are a personal squick as they are damaging to my psyche, most especially when vampirism is glorified and/or regarded as something normal, something cool, something to be desired and/or something of which one shouldn't be afraid.

Ooooh, The Lovely Bones is one of my favorite books, but be warned that the first chapter is really difficult to read. Very unsettling. Awesome book though.

I've heard great things about it, but never this until today, when I went looking for a review on it. All the same, I'd like to read it, now. :) I'll have to let you know what I think.
