Roll Call

Along with basking in the sun and attending as many concerts as I possibly can this summer, I also plan to get through an extensive list of books along the way:

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman-I've always had an unusual interest in witchcraft and the supernatural.

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy-One of my favorite books is The Road, so I figured I should read another of his. (Genius, I know.) Yet I attempted to read the book before and actually couldn't get into it. I'll take another stab at it this summer.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella-It is probably a semi-autobiographical version of my life. So I figured I'd be laughing the majority of the way through it...or crying.

On The Road by Jack Kerouac-I feel like a disgrace to mankind for not having read this book yet.

Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky-It's in the "Favorite Books" section for almost everyone on Facebook. But then again, so is Harry Potter. Could be an audacious move on my part.

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan-I've read excerpts of it for a class and became very interested. I love reading about different cultures and historical events.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte-The novel has been referenced in a few of my favorite books. Plus it's a classic. So I figured I find a copy to indulge in.

Misery by Stephen King-Two words: Kathy Bates. And naturally, it's a Stephen King book. The idea of a sadistic fanatic holding her favorite author hostage is enough to grab my interest.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max-Read the first few pages of it online and laughed repeatedly the whole way through it.

Witches of Eastwick by John Updike-Again, the supernatural is definitely a page turner for me.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer-Once again, I feel like a disgrace to humanity for not reading this yet.
