From May to November 2008. Make a list of 10 books you love/like and then pick three to read from the lists of other participants. In making a recommended book list, I avoided books that others have not already suggested. I also tried to go for variety. These are just 10 books I really like, and by no means are definitive.
- The Leopard by Giuseppe de Lampedussa
- The Complete Maus by Art Spielgman
- Howards End by E. M. Forster
- Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
- The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book by Bill Watterson
- Blindness by Jose Saramago
- The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy: Griffin & Sabine/ Sabine’s Notebook/ The Golden Mean by Nick Bantock
- Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik
- The Hours by Michael Cunningham
Here are some of the books I may read (this list will change as participants come onto the challenge). I listed more than three because y’know how my reading habits are. A few of these have been cross posted from my other challenges too.
