summer reading

Yup, I'm posting a summer reading list already. Except it's not so much a summer reading list as a post-graduation thing, with all the time that I'm going to have from neither being in school nor being gainfully employed. Just kidding. :)

I'm going to a school in Manhattan for a month (more about that later), but besides that, this summer looks like a good time for lots of reading. And working, because I really do want to find a job and move out on my own.

Here is my list--some are repeats, but most aren't:

The Brothers Karamazov
Notes from the Underground, both by Dostoevsky
A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken
Surprised By Joy by C.S. Lewis
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
Signposts in a Strange Land: Essays by Walker Percy
A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
Confessions by St. Augustine

  1. Your reading Virginia Wolfe and Hemingway? You couldn't pay me to read either one!

  2. Haha! Well, Hemingway is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read The Old Man and the Sea though, which is the one that people who hate Hemingway have read usually. And I haven't read that much Woolf, just a little bit, so I wanted to see more of what she wrote.

  3. The only Hemingway I've read is The Old Man and the Sea, maybe there's a reason why I don't like Hemingway.
