I loved

The Outsider by Albert Camus,
1984 by George Orwell,
Call of the Wild by Jack London
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Some of these are modern classics I guess as they aren't quite as old. But I'm happy to include them on the list.
This year I'm hoping to read:
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens
The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald
War of the Worlds by H G Wells
and maybe a Kurt Vonnegut - not sure which one yet.
Other than that there are others I want to read. The list really does go on...  |
Same here. My TBR list is quite long, but I'll get there eventually
Of Vonnegut, I've read Slaughterhouse 5, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Mother Night, Welcome to the Monkey-House and God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian. His other works are on my TBR list.
As much as people big up S5, I wasn't all that impressed. Will need to read Cat's Cradle again, because again, wasn't struck on it. Mother Night and Breakfast of Champions are good and his short stories in WTTM-H, notably, All The King's Horses, Harrison Bergeron, Who Am I This Time, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and The Euphio Question are brilliant.
