Seedy read-y

So, not because Meg did it (I have been planning this for weeks now, WEEKS!) I am going to try to come up with a reading list for myself. I will actually have a bit of time this summer to read, so hopefully I'll get something done. I have so many books that I own that I haven't read--and now it's time. I've got to knock out my own library before I can branch out even further into the libraries and bookstores of the world. So here goes:

1. East of Eden, John Steinbeck 

2.  The Madonnas of Leningrad, Debra Dean

3.  The Female Brain, by Louanne Brezandine

4.  The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck

And because it is obvious that I don't know how to insert pictures, I'm just going to continue writing in text from here on out:

5.  The Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

6.  Translation Nation, Hector Trobar

7.  Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie (I can't believe I've never read this...)

8.  The Book Thief, Marcus Zusak (I read his _I Am the Messenger_ ,which was totally awesome, to my seventh graders.  Well, I read ahead.  I don't think I'll ever finish it with them.  Only three weeks left, you know!)

9.  Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

10.  Persuasion, Jane Austen (these are the only two Austen books I haven't read.  It's about time, don't you think?)

The list could go on and on, but I don't want to waste any more of your precious reading time.  Best go,

Regards,

The Dame
