I have joined a Summer Reading Challenge<\/a> – hosted by and set up by Amanda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BOOKS I WILL READ (AND POST ABOUT) THIS SUMMER<\/b>
\noh, and naturally I reserve the right to change this list at any time. But for now – here are my intentions!<\/p>\n

Bleak House <\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Charles Dickens (finally! I love Ted’s post on it<\/a> … inspired me to finally put it on Ye Olde reading list)<\/p>\n

Veronica<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Mary Gaitskill<\/p>\n

A Passage to India<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by EM Forster<\/p>\n

Something Happened<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Joseph Heller<\/p>\n

Villette<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Charlotte Bronte<\/p>\n

The French Revolution: A History (Modern Library Classics)<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Thomas Carlyle – I’ve been 1\/4 of the way thru this book for, uhm, many months … it’s so dense, and slow-going – takes so much concentration – but I really MUST finish it. I can tell it’s going to be worth it. It already IS worth it – but a deadline would be helpful, to force me to finish it.<\/p>\n

One Day in September: The Full Story of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and the Israeli Revenge Operation “Wrath of God”<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Simon Reeve<\/p>\n

Billy Budd<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Herman Melville – YES! I WILL RE-READ IT. I will see if it is just as loathsome as I remember from high school. But – most importantly – I will keep an open mind. After all, I hated Moby Dick<\/i> once upon a time too and now look what has happened!<\/p>\n

Never Let Me Go<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Kazuo Ishigiro (After reading this post<\/a>, I immediately went out and bought a copy of the book. If you have read it – DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING. I want no spoilers. I loved Remains of the Day<\/i> – the only other one of his I have read – and I am really excited for this new one.)<\/p>\n

The Boy Detective Fails<\/a>\"\"<\/i> – by Joe Meno<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
