Dear All:
I have decided this summer that I am going to officially have this blog up and running as a book review site. I'd like to go with a theme, and I think I want that theme to be reader-driven (like, you guys pick the next book I read out of three choices every week). Since that pool is very limited (hi, friends!), I'll try and expand it over the next two months.
Until May hits us, however, please be satiated with a short list of must reads as I have found them over the past year and a half:
Series:
The Stieg Larsson Trilogy (Girl with the Drago Tattoo, etc)
A Song of Ice and Fire (favorite book in series: Storm of Swords)
Classic Literature:
Jane Eyre (finally. love.)
Wuthering Heights (finally. love.)
Plays:
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
Two Trains Running by August Wilson
Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl (I have a newfound devotion to Sarah Ruhl)
Nonfiction Award:
Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff
Vampire Novels Worth Reading:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
Dracula by Bram Stoker
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
I'm about to start The Hunger Games. Would have read them this week but left my Kindle at home :( and I hate computer screen glare.
That being said,
Happy Reading!
Clellan
An Adults-Only PS:
The Risque Reader might enjoy "The Taking of Sleeping Beauty" by Anne Rice. A classic among Anne Rice followers, it is artfully done and perfectly scandalous and I enjoyed every minute.
