Another Booking Through Thursday:An idea I got from The Toddled Dredge (via K for Kat).
Here’s what she said:“So here today I present to you an Unread Books Challenge. Give me the list or take a picture of all the books you have stacked on your bedside table, hidden under the bed or standing in your shelf – the books you have not read, but keep meaning to. The books that begin to weigh on your mind. The books that make you cover your ears in conversation and say, ‘No! Don’t give me another book to read! I can’t finish the ones I have!’ “

I've only read one or two of those books, but I loved Ellison's Invisible Man when I read it many years ago. You've got a great list of books there.
ReplyDeleteWow...I only know 2 books in your list, and both are Stephen King. I haven't read both Cujo n Pet Cemetary
ReplyDeleteA good number of them are books by black authors. Some of them are rather old.
