a summer reading list...

these are the books that will be getting my attention this summer:

nectar in a sieve - kamala markandaya

war and peace - leo tolstoy

this side of paradise - f. scott fitzgerald

white teeth - zadie smith

the sun also rises - ernest hemingway

maximum city: bombay lost and found - suketu mehta

the beautiful and damned - f. scott fitzgerald

crime and punishment - fyodor dostoevsky

chronicles: volume one - bob dylan

tender is the night - f. scott fitzgerald

...and probably a few more...but this is what is currently in my stack...just thought i would let you know....mostly cause i'm a tad bored and looking for a couple of others to add; any ideas?

that's not the issue...

i have no real reason for writing this...but it just seems to be a general pattern that every six or twelve i start one of these things and then in a few weeks or maybe a month i give it up...but i'm gonna see if this goes any farther this time...i like to write and these are a a good outlet for the awful prose that i churn out...i write, no one reads. perfect. but its there...and i suppose that's the point
we'll see
