I thought it would be fun with a book bucket list.
For those of you who dont know, a bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die.
And since we all love books we probably have a book bucket list too.
It could include books you want to read but you think you wount read before some time in the future or just books you have as a goal to read in youre life time, just whenever.
My list:
- read all of Agatha Christies books( I have read a lot of them but not all of them. I want to read her romance books as well as her crime books)¨
- Read Charles Dickens books.( So far I have only read Oliver Twist)
- Read all of the Nancy Drew books.
- Read all of the Hardy boys books.
....Thats about it. But there is still time so it will probably be added to in the future.
Now its youre turn.

Great thread!!

Mine is to read more classics! I have barely read any classics!!!

Sooooo, Little Women, Wuthering Heights, Emma, The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, Jane Eyre, Brave New World and a ton of others.

I'm slowly reading 2 or 3 a year.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Mine is similar to Karen's... I want to read more of the classics. I've started working on this in the past couple of years though.

I need to read some more Jane Austen. I've read Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility, both really good reads! Need to read the rest.

Game of Thrones
Outlander
Dean Koontz's Frankenstein Series
Wurthering Heights
Jane Eyre


All the books I already own. Yeah, that could take me years just in that!!

Other than Wurthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Emma, I have read the rest of those, and they were really good!

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Karen and Jenny:

Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre are excellent reads! I've read both several times, and would be more than happy to do so again!

Actually, the last time I re-read Jane Eyre was last year, I think...

Time is my excuse! ;) There's just not enough freaking time! Too many books that are like huge giant shiny pennies that keep distracting me. Hahahh...

You are being very ambitious, David, love it! I love reading "big books" they are so fun for me! My big book choice of the moment is Eragon, I WILL finish that series this year! One down, 3 to go!

I still need to read A Dance with Dragons, then I'll have read them all. Kind of happy the show stopped following the books.

I still need to finish A Dance of Dragons, but I'd like to do a reread of the first 4 books first.

I feel like there's so much in them that you could read them three or four times and still discover something new each time.

I agree, Alyson! I bet the experience will be completely different now since I've been watching the TV show all these years.

I keep forgetting how different the later seasons are from the books.


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

I have decided that Dickens isent really for me. I read great expectations last year did not like it, read the pickwick book this year but I imagine the books of him I will like will be in the minority so I wount bother reading all of them.
I do want to read Ursula le guin books.
