summer reading

Since the beginning of Easter until 19th June this had been my standard response to any reading material presented to me other than my Chemistry and Maths textbooks.

Now that my exams have been out of the way for quite some time, I was long overdue a visit to Waterstones. Naturally, I made a list of all the books I wanted to read. Unfortunately the original contained in excess of one hundred books, therefore the following is the super-condensed version. 

1. The Great Gatsby, F.Scott Fitzgerald

2. Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë

3. Middlemarch, George Eliot

4. Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy 

5. To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee

6. Catch-22, Joseph Heller

7. Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov

8. The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger

9. Atonement, Ian McEwan

10. Bonjour Tristesse, Françoise Sagan

11. The Wasp Factory, Iain Banks

12. The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov (my namesake therefore I am naturally inclined to read it)

13. Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell
