Books books books

I’m excited to read my books. Only I’m not yet done doing our thesis. My partner did her part already while I’m still stuck. I was only able to find one local study which is really related to what we are doing. My only time to read books is when I take a dump or when I’m inside a jeepney when I commute to school. Sometimes I get the feeling that people get intimidated whenever I pick out a book from my bag and start reading. I hope people will understand that I don’t have the luxury of time to read.

I made a list of fiction novels I think I should read. I based it from a link I saw by The Guardian. Here are them:

1984 - George Orwell
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
Blindness - Jose Saramago
The Book of Job, Israel (600-400 BC)
The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Castle - Franz Kafka
Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri
Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Hamlet - William Shakespeare
The Idiot - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Iliad - Homer
Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Mahabharata, India (c 500 BC)
Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
The Odyssey - Homer
Nostromo - Joseph Conrad
Oedipus the King - Sophocles
The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Othello - William Shakespeare
The Possessed - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
The Ramayana - Valmiki
Selected Stories - Anton Chekhov
The Sound of the Mountain - Yasunari Kawabata
The Stranger - Albert Camus
The Tale of Genji - Shikibuku  Murasaki
Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe
The Trial - Franz Kafka
War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas

Some of these I have possession already (some I borrowed and some I bought). Some of these also, I was able to read already like 100 Years of Solitude, The Stranger and Oedipus the King.
