That book thingy
Jun. 25th, 2009 09:14 pmI can never resist a meme that involves films, music or books...
So without further ado -
I have to confess to feeling somewhat intimidated by some of the lists displayed by some on my flist. My reading taste doesn't tend to be as eclectic as my taste in music!
1. The Secret History - Donna Tartt
2. The Barchester Books - Anthony Trollope
3. The Way We Live Now - Anthony Trollope
4. The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins
5. Emma - Jane Austen
6. Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
7. The House of Mirth - Edith Wharton
8. Evelina - Fanny Burney
9. L.A Confidential - James Ellroy
10. The Lymond Series - Dorothy Dunnett
11. The Sunne in Splendour - Sharon Penman
12. The Quincunx - Charles Palliser
13. The Forsyte Saga (the first 3 books in the series) - John Galsworthy
14. Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
15. Venetia - Georgette Heyer
( Here's why... )
Anything else you wanna know? Just ask :-)
So without further ado -
Don’t take too long to think about it.
Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you.
First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
Copy the instructions into your own post.
