Reading List

I got a lot done last summer, but none of the books were really stellar or even worth any literary recognition. Now that I'm a hardcore, want to be the smartest, pretentious English  major, it's time I stepped my game up. Which means its time for another list! I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I'm in the middle of Invisible Monsters, but it's nice to have a few in the que.

1. The Great Gatsby (Seriously, I'm not sure how I got away with not reading this before)
2. On the Road (I've been kicked out of our friend's apartment countless times from admitting my ignorance)
3. The Marriage Plot (I've just heard it's good, and I liked the Virgin Suicides)
4. Love in the time of Cholera


the 5th, realistically, will be the Jodi Picoult book that's sitting upstairs with a title I don't remember. There's a  Kurt Vonegut one as well- I went to the library to get some work done the other day and stumbled into a bookstore. Best trip ever.

Finally, a confession- I miss John Green. I think it may be time to reread The Fault in Our Stars, but I've been in such a crummy mood lately that seems like a bad idea. still, I figured it was about time to pull out another of his quotes:

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

I believe in small infinities. <3
