This page is where I keep track of the books I’m reading and the reading challenges I’m attempting. For 2011, I am going to complete the Back to Classics challenge, hosted by the blog Sarah Reads Too Much. Here are the goals and my choices:
1. A Banned Book: Push by Sapphire (completed)
2. A Book with a Wartime Setting (I chose WWII): Suite Francaise by Irène Némirovsky
3. A Pulitzer Prize Winner or Runner Up: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
4. A Children’s/Young Adult Classic: Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (English Version: The Little Prince)
5. 19th Century Classic: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
6. 20th Century Classic: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
7. Potential 21st Century Classic: TBD
8. Re-Read a book from a high school class (I chose 8th grade, not high school): Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Here are my books so far for 2011:
