Eliot - Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats Don Quixote (unfortunately unread as of yet) Chekov - The Seagull and other plays The Bible (probably the smallest bible you've ever seen, pt. 8 font, two columns a page, gold page edges, printed in 1860, I like it) Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe The Illustrated Man - Ray Bradbury Pygmalion - George Bernard Shaw A Faulkner collection Sartoris - Faulkner Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice And my current books for class (the interesting ones at least): More Shakespeare collected short stories of Eudora Welty very, very large short story anthology James Joyce - Dubliners another Chekov anthology Complete stories of Flannery O'Connor Reading Lolita in Tehran - Azar Nafisi Labyrinths - Jorge Luis Borges Three psych textbooks, one philosophy, some boring stuff from last semester and some research materials for the paper on Achebe I'm writing - Beware Soul Brother, Girls at War, Hopes and Impediments... edit: I missed "The Osbick Bird" by Edward Gorey, how could I?

I am! Thanks BoP! I'm trying to make some time for the moot again, although I'll probably be staying in gen. lit. most of the time. Ooh, you remember me, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Menelvagor -- nice to see you back. Last year I lived next door to a girl from Ukraine. I used your signature quote a lot, because it was the only bit of Russian I knew! So thanks for your quote!

I wont bore you with a list. It's mostly philosophy. Quite a few mushroom field guides. Some Comparative Religion and anthropology. Some Mathematics and Logic. Not much fiction besides Huxley, Hemmingway, Vonnegut, and Tolkien.

OK, most of my books I have put away for now. That, or they're on my floor/table/bed/etc. On my bookshelf:
videogames, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and a The Hobbit book on tape. Stick and Rudder, Wolfgang Langewiesche. It's a book on the physics of airplanes. It has my dad's name and address in it from when he still lived with his parents. Copyright 1944. Strange Universe, Bob Behrman. A book of interesting tidbits about the nature of the universe, physics, chemistry, things like that. Hawksong, Amerila Atwater-Rhodes. A novel by a teenage author about shapeshifters. She's my motivation to write. It's a funny book, though it's not supposed to be. You can just feel her sexual tension. Dracula, Bram Stoker. It's the school library's copy. I feel a little bad about still having it. The Godfather, Mario Puzzo. This book is in three segments and held together by a rubber band. A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking. I think that while this book was a best-seller, a lot of people didn't finish it. I did though. I'm not sure how much I retained though. Must read again when I get a chance. Instruction booklet for a TI-83 plus calculator. I don't use the guide much, as I pretty much can figure everything out on my own. The book is easily over 200 pages long. Cut, Patricia McCormick. I wanted to write books aimed at teenagers. I wanted to know what kind of treatment was acceptable for such touchy subjects as self-injury, eating disorders, etc. The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu. An amazing lady. I've been meaning to read the Tale of Genji, but I don't really have the time. I'll have to finish Saiyuuki first, and who knows when that will be. Also scattered around my room: Unfinished Tales, from the library; Dante's Divine Comedy, from the library; Trigun volume 2; The Hobbit, LotR, the Silmarillion; Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. |
