Hey guys,
as I just said in my last post (in the favorite books thread), I'm afraid my reading is going to get less and less sophisticated now that I'm out of school.
I was thinking that I could post some of the books I've read over the years and liked, and see what some of you guys would suggest me to pick up. Not only do I want to keep reading challenging things, but I also want to keep building my library with interesting things.
okay...
Louisa May Alcott:
Little WomenJane Austen:
Sense and Sensibility and
Pride and Prejudice (I also own
Emma and
Persuasion but have yet to read them; I just bought them a month of so ago)
Orson Scott Card:
Enchantment (I've looked at other books from him and am not interested, so far, in any others)
Chaucer:
Troilus and CriseydeJoseph Conrad:
Heart of DarknessPhilippa Gregory:
The Other Bolyn Girl and I own
The Virgin's Lover but haven't finished it yet
Grimm Brothers: Various Fairy Tales
Beth Gutcheon:

Sixes and SevensPoe: Various
Anna Quindlen:

Anne Tyler:

Horace Walpole:
The Castle of OtrantoPaul Watkins:
The Story of My DisappearanceEdith Wharton:
Ethan FrommeI've also read various short stories in collections and anthologies over the years at school, too many to post here. These are just the ones on my shelves that jump out at me as being the ones I really liked, even if they're not exactly classics.
Anyone have any suggestions for things I might like, or you think everyone should read, that I could challenge myself with?
thanks guys
