100 Books Revisited...

Some of my more faithful blog followers may remember I blog post I did last year about wanting to read more - specifically, to read some classic novels. If you didn't get a chance before, you can read the post here.

Anyways, I didn't quite reach my so-called "realistic" goal of reading 30 of the books. I often had to read a fun book in between the not-so-fun classic novels.

I had already read 14 of them. The new ones I managed to read were:

1. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5. Animal Farm by George Orwell
6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
7. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
8. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Favourite: Catcher in the Rye

Least Favourite: Wuthering Heights

Most Disturbing: Lolita

Some other books of note that I read and enjoyed this past year included:

1. The Help by Kathryn Stockett

2. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

3. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

4. Monster by Frank Peretti

5. A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller

6. House Rules by Jodi Picoult

Overall I'd say that that's a pretty good collection of novels I've read!

I'm still working on that classics list though! My 2012 reading resolution is to top this years progress and read 15 books of the list over the year. We'll see if I succeed in 2013!
