books to read

annE (i think it was her…) once gave me a deck of cards that suggested good books to read… something like 52 great books to read… i am not quite sure why but most of the books i read (curious george, curious george takes a job, curi…) were not in it. i remember being somewhat sad that i was so illiterate in literature. that was like in middle school.

you’d think now, being older and having gone through many more years of school, i would be more well read… nope! that’s what going to a college such as CMU will do to you :-P i only took one english class at CMU and had to read a short story like 20 pages long (SUCH a struggle!!!)

i keep wanting to read more, but i never know what books to read! how do people find good books to read?! if anyone has any book suggestions, i’d be very open to trying anything.

so far, on my list of books to read:

  • martian chronicles- i loved this book in high school and since it’s been so long since i’ve read it, i figured i’d re-read it
  • other ray bradbury books- i hear the illustrated man is good, though i have no idea what it is about
  • harry potter and the half-blood prince- of course!
  • hitchhikers guide to the universegalaxy (oops, i don’t even know the name of the book!)- so i actually own this book… but i’ve never read it. when people hear that (and the fact that i haven’t watched all the star wars movies), they usually wonder how i went to CMU… hrm… maybe i don’t want to read this

that’s about it… any other suggestions???

    What about Dan Brown books? (e.g. DaVinci Code, etc….)

    chronicles of narnia!! and umm…i always liked “where the red fern grows” (forgot who its by) hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy is a “trilogy” with 5 books (yeah, its part of the irony that its a trilogy but has 5 instead of 3 books :-p i didnt say it wrong. ppl who have read hitchhiker’s guide will know this). hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy is the first, followed by “the restaurant at the end of the universe” then “life, the universe and everything” then “so long and thanks for all the fish” and finally “mostly harmless” i just realized im such a loser for knowing all this but i am a huge fan of the series! :)
