So, I'm trying to get over this delightful bout of nausea and exhaustion not by sleeping, but by reading Emily's old blog, and she mentioned a valid point. I read the same books over and over. And it's time to stop. I usually read books with lots of atmosphere and fairly upbeat plots, but I'm getting a little tired of that now. (About time, right? It's only been nearly eighteen years.) What I started getting into at Unirondack was reading classics--I read
Jane Eyre for the first time this summer, and it was absolutely fantastic, so maybe I'll just read some more Bronte and Austen. Josie and Abeer told me a little while ago to read
Emma for a nice light read, and my mother was super jazzed when I started reading
Anna Karenina, but I had to return it before I was done reading.
So I think I'll make a reading list, then. Keep myself to a program. Of course, once classes get started in earnest, I won't have any time to read (especially since I'm actually fangirling about Physiology of Behavior. Watch me do a ton of nonrequired work/independent research for that class.) but the list will give me some direction.
Lily's Reading List:
- Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
- Emma, Jane Austen
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte
Three is good to start.
