Brian Wilsons autobiography was released yesterday. I picked it up, it will be a great read.

Have been reading this for weeks now, start of college kinda killed my reading but I’m getting back into doing about 50 pages a night or so which is still crap by my standards but at least I’m reading.

Anyways I’m around 800/1000 pages done so should be finished this weekend, thank Jesus!

I’m reading The Shining atm, I wasn’t too impressed with the first 100 pages but it’s getting much better, should be finished it either Saturday or Sunday night hopefully.

 

So what should I read after?

“Visions of Cody” by Jack Kerouac…not unlike walking through John Lennon ‘s mind, all by yourself. Almost overwhelming, but very beautiful.

Just finished this book yesterday. Next up I’m reading:

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to actually read it for probably the next week because I got it from a Scholastic book order. Hey, at least it’s something!

I’m currently reading the vote that actually won ‘The Exorcist’. (I loved Rosemary’s Baby btw, I think I even preferred it to The Shining, it was just a fabulously written book). 

I’ve only read the prologue so far so can’t really comment it on it but I plan on diving into it properly Friday night after I have my Business Information Systems project finished.

After that as I’ve previously said, I plan on reading classic children’s fiction and becoming-classic teen fiction (seeing as it’s such a new genre), I never really read classics as a child only modern children’s fiction and non-fiction, (I’d say about 70% of what I know about history comes from The Horrible Histories series, seriously if you have kids <12 get them those books, they’re fabulous).

 

The planned reads over the next few months include but are not limited to:

His Dark Materials trilogy

The Chronicles of Narnia

A Series of Unfortunate Events (I stopped reading these when I was about 8, I think I got to around book 5-6 before I gave up)

Black Beauty

A Little Princess

Little Women

The Secret Garden

Noughts and Crosses series

Aesop’s Fables

A selection of tales from The Grimm Brothers (alas not in their original German, I really should get them in their original form)

Oliver Twist

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (first I’ll have to get Tom Sawyer though)

Heidi

 

That’s all I can think of at the minute, anyone have any further suggestions and I’ll see if I can squeeze them onto the list?

I borrowed an ‘Inspector Morse’ novel from the library 10 days ago, i’ve read 4 pages. Can’t find much enthusiasm to read any book.

^^I read Gatsby a while back for my lit class. Didn’t like it much, too bleak for my tastes. 

Just finished Watch The Lady by Elizabeth Fremantle… a fascinating bit of historical fiction, though there were a few typographical errors that made me wonder what the copy-editors these days are coming to.

I’m knee-deep in biographies.

Jimi Hendrix, The Ultimate Experience by Johnny Black, is the one I’m reading currently.
