conquering the classics - Lizzy

hi there guys!! it's been a long time since we've posted. lately i've been experiencing some health complications so i've not been able to keep up with the A-Z project, though i've come up with a new goal for myself: read as many classics as i can before the end of the summer. here are the books on my list:

• the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• the Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
• Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
• 1984 by George Orwell
• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
• Emma by Jane Austen
• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
• the Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Dracula by Bram Stoker
• Peter Pan by JM Barrie
• Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
• Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
• Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
• Moby Dick by Herman Melville
• Persuasion by Jane Austen
• the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
• the Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
• David Copperfield  by Charles Dickens
• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
• Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Caroll
• Watership Down by Richard Adams
• The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
• Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
• Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
• Vanity Fair by William Thackeray
• Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

now you may think me suicidal if i want to subject myself to that much summer reading, but hopefully it won't be too painstaking and i'll learn a lot from these wonderful classics. wish me luck!

also, i started a new personal blog, called the Flight of the Flamingo. visit! subscribe! it shall (hopefully) be an interesting page!

much love,
Lizzy
