book binge

books i have recently read:

the grapes of wrath
of mice and men
breakfast of champions
graceling
the boyfriend list
the boy book
the treasure map of boys
incarceron
plain kate
the knife of never letting go
the ask and the answer
the truth about forever

books on my shelf waiting to be read:

the winter of our discontent
1984
slaughterhouse 5
the sound and the fury

books on request at the library:

before i fall
will grayson will grayson
leviathan
cast in silence
valley of the dolls
freak magnet
monsters of men
sapphique
howls moving castle
the replacement
almost perfect

as you can see my current reading tastes swing wildly from classic fiction to currect YA novels. i decided that i needed to get a move on reading all the books i've always ment to - the faulkner, steinbeck,etc - but i keep getting distracted by these fabulous YA books i find on Forever Young Adult. a website i've fallen in love with because they have a sweet valley high drinking game and also hated the end of mockingjay (for real suzanne collins?).

ps. the old man and the sea was on that list somewhere until i accidently ran it through the washing machine. turns out the 'sanitize' setting will completely destroy a paperback . . . who knew?
