Just so all of you know, I like to spend the entire summer reading. Can you believe that I have not started yet? I am so far behind! I happened to be on youtube (which is literally an addiction) and saw that one of my subscribers embarked on a 'Book Buying Ban' for the summer. One thing that I've found is that avid readers buy books any chance they can, regardless of what they already have on their shelves. These avid purchasers of books go through their books and pick 10 books to read before they can buy more. They also pick a couple of alternative books to counter some of the choices they have that they may not be able to finish for whatever reason. And they also have a couple choices that don't count all the way because they were books that were started but never completed.
I have decided to take on this challenge, but I don't think that I even have 10 books to read. Because I am up at school, I usually have other books to read for classes and such. Now that I am home, I can read whatever I want.
I am working at my old store here at home in Irvine and I am working with a girl who happens to be an English major (and African American Studies major)! This is good news to me because we bonded over a new writer that a professor of mine, Stephanie Hammer, introduced me to. Haruki Murakami. THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE was one of my favorite books as well as THE DEW BREAKER by Edwidge Danticat. Back to the task at hand...here are the books that I have slated to conquer this summer:
That's it for all of the books right now. It's a lot to conquer.
