My reading list!
I really, REALLY love to read. I absolutely love books! I'm always tempted by a new book, and I just love the smell of new books... Don't you?

Unfortunately, I've been slacking a bit on my reading lately, mostly because I was busy with my final and everything, but now that I'm officially free, I want to catch up on my reading!

So, yesterday I bought myself three books, and today I picked up quite a few books I have at home and I've been meaning to read for ages. My reading list suddenly became HUGE, but, well, I have to deadline, so I'm just gonna enjoy all these books on my new reading list!



I already started with the first book on the pile... The list goes like this:

1. Agatha Christie - Five Little Pigs
2. Alejandro Dolina - El Libro Del Fantasma (The Phantom's Book)
3. Agatha Christie - The Moving Finger
4. George Orwell - 1984
5. Agatha Christie - Three Blind Mice
6. Truman Capote - A Tree Of Night
7. Agatha Christie - The Boomerang Clue
8. Umberto Eco - The Name Of The Rose
9. Agatha Christie - They Do It With Mirrors
10. Robin Cook - Toxin
11. Agatha Christie - Elephants Can Remember
12. Alexandre Dumas - The Count Of Monte Cristo
13. Agatha Christie - The Body In The Library

My dad bought A LOT of Agatha Christie books... XD I really enjoy her books, so I'm gonna read them all, one by one! By I'm also trying to spice things up a bit, and throw in some other authors... I'm really curious about Truman Capote, for example, because I've never read any of his writings, but I get the feeling I'm gonna like them!

We'll see what I'll read after these books... I really wanna get my hands on the Harry Potter series (I've seen the movies but haven't read the books), and I have a few more classics here at home that really deserve to be read.

But, in the meantime, I have more than enough to entertain myself for now! :P

Hope you're all fine! :D

CHEERIOS!

I love the smell of new books. I can't wait until summer when I can actually read something for fun!

Also, Truman Capote's writing is amazing. I highly, highly reccomend In Cold Blood -- even if it did scare the pants off of me. I normally don't like non-fiction, either, but it was amazing.

Awesome! Any ideas of what you'd like to read? :D

I'm not usually a fan of non-fiction either, but after watching the movie Capote, I became immediately hooked by the writer and his works! I originally meant to buy In Cold Blood, but couldn't find it, so I got A Tree Of Night instead. Looks very interesting too!

Hey there Hippo...
what a pity you weren't online on Saturday...I get the feeling you don't like me anymore :(
*ahem* *stops sounding whiny*
I also love the smell of new books,I got a lot of new ones either!
Those on your book pile sound really good,I've only read "1984" out of them and thought it was very good.
Aaaand...Truman Capote rocks! I loved his book "In Cold Blood"!

Wanna hear my reading list? Here it goes: Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and I don't remember the rest, but they're ALL there. *grumbles* XDDDD

I have DOZENS of pending books... I start reading them and then something shows up, and I have to stop... for example, I haven't even started with Jane Eyre yet, not until I'm done with the finals, at least!

George Orwell
You're gonna to laugh about this SO much... but when checking the picture, I was trying to read the authors and names, and by the time I came upon '1984', I read 'Savage Garden' instead of George Orwell. XDDDDD

They Do It With Mirrors
O__________o
XDDDDD

As for Truman Capote, my Theory professor kept telling us how he started a new way to conceive literature, breaking the old, rigid standard of what was considered literature and bringing something new in. *shows off her 10 in Theory XD*

I will DEFINITELY read Harry Potter! I started reading the first book some time ago, and gave it up for whatever reason, but it was actually awesome!

I've been meaning to read 1984 forever. Will let you know how I like it! :D

Oh dear, looks like some heavy reading. The most classical I've read had to be The Lord of the Rings! I have not touched The Canterbury Tales I bought eons ago. The pictures are pretty though.

You should get the entire HP set. You will enjoy them.

Enjoy the books!

I actually started reading the HP series a long time ago, but then gave it up for reasons I can't really rememeber! I do remember enjoying the first book immensely, so I'm sure I'll love the rest even more! I'll be sure to pick them up once I'm done with my current reading list. :D

You WILL have that time soon, I'm sure!

And there is something (someone) else I'd like to have in my bed instead of those books... :)
