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.

If I'm ever feeling the need for horror, I'll check with you for Anne Rice titles, how about that? ;)

Sorry to keep bugging you about it, you know what it's like when you have a favourite author! ^_~
