Time Magazine has a list of “the 100 best English language novels from 1923 to the present”. Em listed which of the books she’d actually read…so I thought I’d do the same!
- All the King’s Men (read for an English lit criticism class in college)
- Animal Farm (read sophomore year of high school)
- Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret (read on my own sometime when I was in middle school I think)
- Beloved (read for “The Woman Writer” class in college; best Toni Morrison book I ever read)
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (read on my own when I was in grade school)
- Lord of the Flies (read senior year of high school)
- The Lord of the Rings (okay, technically I’ve only read Fellowship and the first few chapters of Two Towers)
- 1984 (read senior year of high school)
- The Sun Also Rises (read for an American Lit class in college)
- To Kill a Mockingbird (read freshman year of high school)
- Wide Sargasso Sea (read for “The Woman Writer” class in college)
Yeah, I need to read more. College forced me to read loads of good books. Too bad I don’t have that kind of motivation anymore. (Also too bad I don’t have my books anymore…)
