an exercise in mind expansion

so since I left school I haven't so much as opened a book,
I think it's about time I get back in gear and ya know
read something with more literary value than People magazine


so here's my list (cause you know I'm a big list maker)
of books to finish by the end of the year
(and yea I know I'm supposed to have already read some of these in high school, but you didn't either so hush)

1. Atlas Shrugged -Ayn Rand
2. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
3. Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
4. The House of Mirth - Edith Wharton
5. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
6. Mrs. Dallowway - Virginia Woolf
7. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
8. Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert
9. Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
10. The Tin Drum - Gunter Grass
