A bucket list of books.
I recently stumbled across a book blogger site - don’t ask me where because I’m very scatter-brained lately - and she has 1001 books listed that you…we…should read in our lifetimes. I thought her idea was brilliant. I decided to make my own list. I’m going to try, try mind you, to add ten books per day to the list. Here are my first beloved ten, in no particular order:
1. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
2. The Caine Mutiny, by Herman Wouk
3. Dust Tracks on a Road, by Zora Neale Hurston
4. On the Road, by Jack Kerouac
5. Naked Lunch, by William S. Burroughs
6. The Lord of the Rings trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien
7. Ringworld, by LarryNiven
8. Dune, by Frank Herbert,
9. 1984, by George Orwell
10. Native Son, by Richard Wright
Once I started this list, I could barely stop myself from adding hundreds of books - okay…ten a day.
I almost forgot - my post-apocalyptic work of dystopian fiction, Salvation, took second place in the Paranormal category in The Dixie Kane Memorial Contest sponsored by the Southern Louisiana Chapter of Romance Writers of America.
And the Giants won - just got home and I can’t talk, too hoarse from yelling.
