What's something you always wanted to read, but never got around to it?

[Abaddon]

My list is endless

Long Days Journey into Night
The Origin of Consciousness
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Ancient Evenings
Seduction of the Innocent
Custer Died for Your Sins
The Screwtape Letters
etc

I keep a list. I'm going to try to tackle 100 Years of Solitude next month or so.

I enjoyed all the books I had to read in High School. The ones I remember especially loving were Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, and The Catcher in the Rye. I read MANY others, of course, but these in particular resonate in my mind

One of my English teachers also introduced me to Childhood's End, one of my all-time favorite books.

i liked Gatsby a lot. i hear they're making a new movie version too

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yes they are! With Baz Luhrman directing, and DiCaprio as Gatsby. I am excited

I want to read The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, and I own them both, but I haven't actually made the time to sit down and get through all the books.

Today, I just purchased The Inferno by Dante Alighieri for 1 dollar at Borders

This is a book I've always wanted to read, as are the other 2 installments to The Divine Comedy. I'm actually glad I decided to pick this up today. My goal is to read all 3 books by the end of the summer.

What's something you always wanted to check out but got lazy? Let's get to work on reading some things we've been lazy on

My brother bought the collected edition last summer. I still dont think he has read it. I bought War and Peace years ago. I keep meaning to finish it but its so intimidating. I also have the 9-11 Commission Report. Parts of it are extremely interesting but other parts are just so much legal mumbo jumbo.
