Reading List

These are the books I am promising to read before 1 January 2013 2014. Because otherwise I just keep buying books and never finishing any of them.
If you've got any more suggestions, let me know!

  • A Song of Ice and Fire (book 1-4) - George R.R. Martin: because I have these as a box set on my Kindle. If enjoyable, I'll also get the fifth one, though that seems like a done deal, really.
  • The Makioka Sisters - Tanizaki Junichiro: I need to finally get some iconic Japanese literature under my belt; I'm supposed to know these things, actually. *cough*
  • Moab is my Washpot - Stephen Fry: already started this one, but Fry has a verbosity I can only dream of, and therefore can only digest in small quantities.
  • Notre-Dame de Paris - Victor Hugo: I know the story of the Hunchback, but I want to read it in the original French to force myself to practice.
  • Harry Potter and the philosopher's Stone - JK Rowling (Japanese translation): again, to force myself to practice Japanese because it is disappearing at an astonishing rate.
  • Middlemarch - George Eliot: because just Jane Austen and Emily Brontë won't do.
  • The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins: just to see what all the fuss is about. Finished, REVIEW UP! (2012)

EXTRA:
  • TBC
