Book report
In response to the "Reading List" post a bit ago, Jana B wanted to know what I'm reading now. I picked up "The Language of Baklava" at work last weekend, and I couldn't put it down. And that was even before I knew there were recipes involved! I'm pretty close to the end, so I'll write a bit more about it once I've finished.
Here's a book meme I picked up at Caro's Lines and she picked up elsewhere:
Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you've never even heard of.
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger (His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J. K. Rowling Life of Pi - Yann Martel Animal Farm - George Orwell Catch-22 - Joseph Heller The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
Lord of the Flies - William Golding Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (My mother-in-law would be outraged that I haven't read this) 1984 - George Orwell Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J. K. Rowling One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (I don't remember anything about this. Maybe I should read it again) Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut (The Secret History - Donna Tartt) Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C. S. Lewis Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte Atonement - Ian McEwan The Shadow Of The Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon (I tried to read this, but I couldn't find a copy. Someone -- Felicity Huffman, maybe -- recommended it in "O" magazine, which I was reading while my car was being worked on.) The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath Dune - Frank Herbert There's a good chance that there are more of these than I noted on my bookshelf. I need a card catalogue. posted by Nichole @ 10:42 PM
