I should really say, "what I'm trying to read". I've always been an avid reader. I go through on some serious book binges and have been since I was taught to read. Unfortunately, reading when I am a full-time student is a challenge. Finding time to read for pleasure is something that I constantly struggle with & am really hoping to improve upon it this year. Below I have listed some books I am hoping to read within the next few months. What books have you been reading lately?
1. This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald has always been a favorite writer of mine. I recently picked an old copy of this at a local book trade & can't wait to begin this.
2. Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser
Reading books or watching documentaries about our eating habits is an obsession of mine. Changing the current state of the US food industry is the career path that I am currently on.
3. The Great Santini - Pat Conroy
Pat Conroy is an amazing author. After a recommendation to read, The Prince of Tides, I fell in love with his work. I recommend that book to anyone, its beautifully written & a beautiful storyline.
4. Beach Music - Pat Conroy
My obsession/love for Conroy continues.
Here's what I'm listening to:
Tell me how the fitzgerald book is! I have a book on zelda I've just been too lazy to read it......
ReplyDeleteWe should start a book club - I'd love the read the Zelda Fitzgerald book! I'm so far a little over half way done This Side of Paradise & I'm enjoying it so far.

I love finding out what other people read. I really liked Fast Food Nation, though it did open my eyes to the meat processing business. :/

Oh yeah for sure. I've been reading it on & off for months now but the food industry is in a horrible state! You should watch Food Inc.! You'll probably never eat anything again though.
