A little about Summer

For the past two semesters in my literature courses, I have felt a little behind.  Novels are mentioned that I have never read and stories are discussed that I have never heard of.  With this in mind, I have decided that, being as I'm an English major, I should give it my best shot to catch up.  So... This summer I have decided I want to make a reading list.  So far my list is as follows:

1.  Sister Carrie by Theodore Drieser

2.  White Noise by Don DeLillo

3.  To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

4.  The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

5.  A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway

6.  Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

7.  All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

This is my list so far.  If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.  I am really looking forward to reading these novels and feeling a little less out of the loop in particular classes or discussions.  After completing each novel, I will give a brief summary of my reactions on my blog in case you all want to know.

Anyways... Have a wonderful summer!!  You can read with me if you'd like!
