I have compiled a “must read” list of literature to tackle over the summer. I stole the ideas from a much larger list and cut it down to 10 novels, thinking I probably wont be able to finish 50 books over three months (especially if I end up taking a summer class).
This was all inspired by the copy of Frankenstein that I picked up while at a bookstore in Utah. It was only $4 as the bookstore was going out of business, so I decided it was a sign from the Great God of Literature that I needed it. And who am I to ignore his messages?
The List:
1984 by George Orwell
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Naked Lunch by William Burroughs
Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie
