I am stealing Chloe's copy of The Bell Jar, coming to Iowa to pick you up and we're passing through the Grand Canyon on our way to New Orleans.
Our families can cope.
I'll bring along The Catcher in the Rye and be prepared to tell you the entire plotline of North by Northwest if we get bored during the drive.
Love the blog look!
I love North by Northwest and would be curious to hear what an adult thinks of their first read of Catcher in the Rye.
I will take on that reading list when they make them into pop up books!
I think I have a rebellious streak. Even though I was an English major, since college I've read virtually none of the books that end up on somebody's must read lists. And I don't care.
I've read Catcher in the Rye 3 times. I can't remember a word. Well, the work pukey comes up a lot I believe. When I'm reading it, I enjoy it. It just goes away so easily.
Must see Big Lebowski and go to New Orleans. Those I'll remember forever. American classics.
My daughter just read the Bell Jar and loved it. I still haven't read it. I also need to read Confederacy of Dunces. I'm finally reading My Antonia as soon as I finish my current book.
Oh but I think you will get around to reading these books one day. There are always more books I need to read on my list anyway no matter how much I read that list just keeps growing ;~)
Read, see, do what you can. There's so much out there, we can't possibly take it all in.
For what it's worth, you're not missing a lot by not reading those particular books. There, I said it.
I love The Bell Jar!
