Sorry, Madame...
I’ve changed my readings plans. This list below is most likely the order I’ll be reading this summer. Madame Bovary was just hard for me to start with. Hopefully Gulliver will do the trick!
Summah Readin' List!
Gulliver’s Travels - Jonathan Swift
Sense & Sensibility - Jane Austen
Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert
Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë
Harry Potter 6 - J.K. Rowling
Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy
The Mayor of Casterbridge - Thomas Hardy
The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
That’s the list for now. I’ll most likely be adding to...
“There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it”
– Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary
Currently on pg. 17 or so. I can tell it’s going to be a good read, just like Hardy’s Tess of the D’urbervilles. I’m excited to get deep in the book; so deep, that I can barely get out.
Starting Fresh
It’s always a challenge.
